Who is Kretien De Trua?

Answer 1

Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère who flourished in the late 12th century. Little is known of his life, but he seems to have been from Troyes, or at least intimately connected with it, and between 1160 and 1181 he served at the court of his patroness Countess Marie de Champagne, daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine, perhaps as herald-at-arms (as Gaston Paris speculated). His work on Arthurian subjects represents some of the best of medieval literature.

You can see from this website that he was a writer and chronicler of the Arthurian legends. A wonderful writer! http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/4186/Arthur/htmlpages/legendliterature1.html
