Titurel

Titurel is a fragmentary Middle High German romance written by Wolfram von Eschenbach after 1217.

Wolfram's Parzival was an adaptation of the unfinished French romance Perceval, the Story of the Grail, by Chrétien de Troyes.

Titurel was written some time after 1217, as indicated by its mention of the death of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, which occurred that year.

The fragments primarily deal with the love between the young knight Schionatulander and the princess Sigune, the granddaughter of Titurel and a cousin of Parzival.

Albrecht synthesized the fragments into a cohesive narrative and expanded it to over 6300 lines.
