"Clig\u00E8s is a poem by Chr\u00E9tien de Troyes, and is the second of his five Arthurian Romances. It tells of the knight Clig\u00E8s and his love for his uncle's wife, Fenice. Because of the story's de-romanticized depiction of adultery, it has been called a criticism or parody of the Tristan and Iseult romances. The story in Clig\u00E8s can be understood by dividing it into two parts. The first story consists of Clig\u00E8s's father's adventures and the second story consists of Clig\u00E8s's adventures. The story starts with Alexander, the son of the Greek emperor who comes to King Arthur's realm and marries and has a child with Arthur's niece. This child is Clig\u00E8s, who is raised in Greece but follows his father's footsteps to Arthur's kingdom when he is old enough to be knighted. Alexander had inherited the throne of Greece when his father died but passes away himself a few years later, leaving Constantinople in the hands of his brother Alis, who is to rule the kingdom until Clig\u00E8s matures. Clig\u00E8s falls in love with his uncle Alis' wife, Fenice, but Fenice must pretend she is dead for them to consummate their love. They hide in a tower but are found by Bertrand, who tells Alis; Clig\u00E8s goes to Arthur to ask for help in getting his kingdom back from his uncle, but Alis dies while he is away. Clig\u00E8s and Fenice are free to marry."@en . . "Clig\u00E8s is a poem by Chr\u00E9tien de Troyes, and is the second of his five Arthurian Romances.
