The tale of Lancelot and the magic chessboard

Summary[edit]

Description
English: In one of his adventures, Lancelot can be found in a Forest named as of No Return. There many wonders could be seen! One was a Magic Dance that could enchant the travelers and trap them in - a creation of some magician-clerk and cousin of King Ban, Lancelot's father. In some stories this was Ban's brother, Guinebal. An other creation of this clerk was a magic chessboard that could beat every opponent it played with. Lancelot of course played and won, freeing the place of these enchantments. In the end he took the chessboard and gave it to Queen Guinevere, Arthur's wife [Lancelot-Grail, vol 3, 1992, ed. N. Lacy, transl. William Kibler, part V, n. 154, p. 183]
