Lanseloet van Denemerken

Lanseloet van Denemerken (Lancelot of Denmark) is a Middle Dutch drama.

It is one of the four abele spelen ("able plays") contained in the Van Hulthem Manuscript and consists of 925 lines in rhyme.

[1] The play Lanseloet van Denemerken deals with the (impossible) love between people of a different social class.

She thinks of a plan to make Lanseloet promise her he will let Sanderijn go forever after one night with her.

At first Lanseloet distrusts this message, but after seeing evidence of their meeting he knows Sanderijn will be lost to him forever.
