A knight-errantis a figure of medieval chivalric romance literature. 'Errant,' meaningwandering or roving, indicates how the knight-errant would typicallywander the land in search of adventures to prove himself as a knightsuch as in a pas d'Armes. The first known appearance of the term'knight-errant' was in the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the GreenKnight, where Sir Gawain arrives at the castle of Sir Bercilak deHaudesert after long journeys, and Sir Bercilak goes to welcome the'knygt erraunt.' Many knights-errant fit the ideal of the 'knight inshining armor'. To modern day readers, the figure of the knight-errantsuggests a sort of lawful or righteous vigilante. A knight-erranttypically performed all his deeds in the name of a lady, and invoked hername before performing an exploit. In more sublimated forms ofknight-errantry, pure metaphysical idealism rather than romanticinspiration motivated the knight-errant.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 76 pp. Englisch.
