Speranza
Rustichello wrote a work known as the Roman de Roi Artus (Romance of King Arthur) or simply the Compilation, derived from a book in the possession of Edward I of England, who passed through Italy on his way to fight in the Eighth Crusade in 1270-1274.
The Compilation contains an interpolation of the Palamedes, a now-fragmentary prose account of Arthur's Saracen knight Palamedes and the history of the Round Table.
It was later divided into two sections, named after their principal protagonists, Meliadus (Tristan's father) and Guiron le Courtois.
These remained popular for hundreds of years, and influenced works written in Italian.
