9 Medieval Romances that Blossomed Despite Class Differences

Описание: In medieval France, societal norms dictated that love was bound by class and birth.
Le Fresne, a twin abandoned as a baby, was raised by a porter and his wife, and later fell in love with Lord Gurun, who defied convention to be with her.
However, Gurun was pressured to marry a woman of noble birth, Coudroum, who was actually Le Fresne's twin sister.
The truth about Le Fresne's noble parentage was eventually revealed, and she and Gurun were free to marry, celebrating their love with a joyous wedding.
Their story, along with that of Aucassin and Nicolette, a nobleman and his Saracen slave, shows that true love can transcend social divisions, and that nobility lies not in birth, but in character.
