Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart is a 12th-century Old French chivalric romance poem by Chrétien de Troyes, although it is believed that Chrétien worked on a story given to him by Marie of France and he did not complete the text himself. It is the earliest known text to feature Lancelot as a prominent character, and the first to feature the love affair between him and King Arthur's wife Queen Guinevere.— Wikipedia
