"Medieval romances were enjoyed by both men and women, featuring male protagonists, typically knights, proving themselves through adventures that often led to encounters with the unknown."
"In the tales from the Middle Ages, the marvellous happens regularly; unremarkable individuals, including unattractive old women, may transform into beautiful maidens or encounter fairies."
"Unlike modern romances, medieval romances involve a hero's journey that is less about finding love and more about tests of valor and character in fantastical settings."
"Even though 'fairy tale' is a modern classification, the core elements of romance as adventure and transformation resonate with medieval narratives enjoyed historically by diverse audiences."
