Bridal Of Triermain

Bridal of Triermain

by Sir Walter Scott

The Bridal of Triermain is a narrative poem by Sir Walter Scott, drawing inspiration from Arthurian legend. It follows Sir Roland De Vaux, a knight errant, on a quest to rescue Gyneth, the illegitimate daughter of King Arthur, from an enchanted sleep. Gyneth has been cursed by Merlin to slumber within a magical castle, and only a brave and noble knight can break the enchantment. Sir Roland's journey is fraught with temptations, each designed to test his resolve and divert him from his true goal. He must confront his fears, resist the allure of riches, overcome the pleasures of the senses, and quell his own pride to prove worthy of Gyneth's hand and awaken her from her slumber.
