Lunete

She is described in Chrétien de Troyes' Yvain, the Knight of the Lion as "a charming brunette, prudent, clever and polite..."[1] When Esclados the Red (Laudine's first husband) is mortally wounded and killed by Ywain, he finds himself trapped in Laudine's castle (Castle of Landuc near Brocéliande).

Lunete offers him shelter and agrees to aid him in escaping the villagers who want to avenge their lord's death.

Meanwhile, in court, the seneschal envies Lunete of her rising status and becoming Laudine's favourite advisor.

Ywain duels with the seneschal and his brothers and defeats them in combat; Lunete is then let free.

Lunete later helps Ywain to win his wife's love back, by tricking the spouses into reconciliation.
