Gui d'Excideuil

Gui d'Excideuil ("Guy of Excideuil") is an Old French romance, written in the 12th century, whose text is now lost.

The eponymous hero's lover was a fairy, but he lost her (in an orchard, according to Raimbaut de Vaqueiras) because he began to think about the queen, who loved him unrequitedly.
