  • Laudine is a character in Chrétien de Troyes's 12th-century romance Yvain, or, The Knight with the Lion and all of its adaptations, which include the Welsh tale of Owain, or the Lady of the Fountain and the German epic Iwein by Hartmann von Aue. Usually known as the Lady of the Fountain, she becomes the wife of the poem's protagonist, Yvain, one of the knights of King Arthur's Round Table, after he kills her husband, but later spurns the knight-errant when he neglects her for heroic adventure, only to take him back in the end. Chrétien calls her "la dame de Landuc", i.e. the noblewoman in command of the territory and castle of "Landuc", located near a supernatural fountain within the enchanted forest of Brocéliande. The lady Laudine's fountain, which magically generated a powerful storm when its water was poured into a nearby basin, was guarded by her husband, Esclados the Red, until his defeat by Yvain. After learning about his cousin Calogrenant's encounter with Esclados, in which the former was attacked and beaten for using the well to create a storm, Yvain took revenge on behalf of his kinsman by slaying Esclados in single combat. He then followed the mortally wounded warrior back to the castle, where he fell instantly in love with his victim's widow. Though distraught over her husband's death, Laudine was convinced by her vassals (especially her servant and confidante Lunete) to marry Yvain to ensure the protection of her lands. When Yvain was invited to pursue knightly exploits with Gauvain (Gawain), Laudine did not want him to go, but relented when he promised to return after a set number of days. She provided her husband with a magic ring that protected true lovers from bodily harm and warned him not to be late; but Yvain, caught up in his chivalric quests, failed to come home on the agreed upon day. Laudine had a messenger retrieve her ring and inform her absent husband that he was not allowed back. After a resultant period of madness (spent as a wild man in the woods), Yvain engaged in a new series of adventures, fighting to aid others (such as the lion that gave him his nickname) rather than gain glory for himself, and eventually proved himself to Laudine, who accepted her husband back into her castle. In the 13th-century Welsh tale of Owain, one of the Three Welsh Romances associated with the Mabinogion, the corresponding character is left unnamed, known only by her title: Lady, or Countess, of the Fountain. Her first husband is referred to as the Black Knight. The name Laudine is generally associated with Lodonensis (or Laudonensis), a Latinized form of the toponym Lothian. (en)
  • Laudine, aussi connue sous le nom de la Dame de la Fontaine, est un personnage de la légende arthurienne qui provient essentiellement d'un roman de Chrétien de Troyes écrit vers 1176, Yvain ou le Chevalier au lion. À l'origine épouse du chevalier noir gardien de la source, Esclador le Roux, elle tombe peu à peu amoureuse d'Yvain, qui a pourtant tué son mari. Elle finit par l'épouser, mais le chevalier désire reprendre sa vie aventureuse. Laudine lui accorde un an et lui confie un anneau pour lui rappeler sa promesse. Le chevalier Yvain oublie de revenir. Laudine refuse de le revoir un temps, puis elle accepte de lui pardonner. Laudine peut paraître une femme effacée, illustrant le renversement psychologique et l'inconstance féminine, mais elle a du caractère et influence significativement Yvain, le héros du roman. Chrétien de Troyes emploie les procédés de l'humour et du dédoublement pour expliquer le revirement de son personnage au public de l'époque, féru d'histoires d'amour courtois. Il est possible que Laudine et sa servante Lunette aient été à l'origine un seul et même personnage, une femme-cygne issue d'une tradition bretonne autour de la fontaine de Barenton, ou une fée celtique liée au culte de Diane chasseresse et à l'astre lunaire, dédoublée pour les besoins du roman.
