The immortal feats of the valiant knights of the Round Table are forever immortalized in the brilliant epic of those times — numerous legends and tales, most fully compiled by Sir Thomas Malory in the 15th century. It seemed that no one and nothing could overshadow these glorious deeds or surpass the courage and bravery of the legendary warriors. However, how much do we know about Segurant — another knight of the Round Table, whose name was forgotten for several centuries? Surpassing all the heroes of his time in strength and bravery, Segurant was fearless, easily winning all the knightly tournaments and boldly embarking on even the most dangerous adventures. Enchanted by the fairies Morgana and Sibyl, he was forced to go on a hunt for a fire-breathing dragon, overcoming new dangers and obstacles along the way.
Recently, the chronicle of Segurant's feats was discovered by a young scholar, Emanuele Arioli. He personally translated the manuscripts that made up the text of the novel and published them after many years of research. Now this newly rediscovered text, translated for the first time into many European languages, reveals to us a previously unknown side of the legends about King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, allowing every reader to embark on an exciting journey into the enchanting world of medieval legends! The book includes the text of the novel itself, additional and alternative versions from the 13th to 15th centuries, scientific commentary by researcher Emanuele Arioli, as well as illustrations from the original manuscripts.
