Biography
Biography
It tells the trials of the unfortunate and innocent Euriaut, who becomes an object of public dispute between Gérard de Nevers and Lisiard de Forez, the former taking her defense while the other suggests she is guilty of misconduct by claiming he knows of a violet-shaped mark on her bosom. The story percolated into Shakespeare's Cymbeline via Giovanni Boccaccio, and into Carl Maria von Weber's opera Euryanthe. Gerbert is possibly the author of "Gerbert's Continuation", one of the Four Continuations of Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval, the Story of the Grail.
The recorded working language is Old French. Works named in the authority record are Fourth continuation of the Conte du Graal and Le roman de la violette.
