The Roman de la Rose is a late medieval French work of fiction in allegorical dream form. ...

Romance (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1230 words)
The boundaries between the romance and the chansons de geste of the troubadours was somewhat fluid.
Romancers wrote many of their stories in three, thematic cycles: (i) the Arthurian (the lives and deeds of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table); (ii) the Carlovingian (the lives and deeds of Charlemagne, and Roland, his principal paladin); and, (iii) the Alexandrian (the life and deeds of Alexander the Great).
Romance divides into two main forms: a secular form dealing with chivalry and knight-errantry, and a religious form devoted to legends of saints.
