Geraint and Enid, also known by the title Geraint, son of Erbin, is a one of the Three Welsh Romances typically associated with the Mabinogion. It is analogous to Chrétien de Troyes' 12th-century poem Erec and Enide; some scholars think the two derive from a common lost source, while others believe Geraint is based directly or indirectly on Erec (though Chrétien may have had a Celtic source). It survives in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, both from the 14th century.

  • Geraint and Enid, also known by the title Geraint, son of Erbin, is a one of the Three Welsh Romances typically associated with the Mabinogion. It is analogous to Chrétien de Troyes' 12th-century poem Erec and Enide; some scholars think the two derive from a common lost source, while others believe Geraint is based directly or indirectly on Erec (though Chrétien may have had a Celtic source). It survives in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, both from the 14th century. The romance concerns the love of Geraint, one of King Arthur's men, and the beautiful Enid. Geraint, son of King Erbin of Dumnonia, courts Enid. The couple marry and settle down together, but rumors spread that Geraint has gone soft. Upset about this, Enid cries to herself that she is not a true wife for keeping her husband from his chivalric duties, but Geraint misunderstands her comment to mean she has been unfaithful to him. He makes her join him on a long and dangerous trip and commands her not to speak to him. Enid disregards this command several times to warn her husband of danger. Several adventures follow that prove Enid's love and Geraint's fighting ability. The couple is happily reconciled in the end, and Geraint inherits his father's kingdom. Enid does not appear in Welsh sources outside of this romance, but Geraint was already a popular figure. Some scholars hold that the Erec from Chrétien's poem is based on Geraint, but others think the Welsh author simply replaced an unfamiliar French name with one his audience would recognize and associate with heroism. Alfred, Lord Tennyson based two of his Idylls of the King on Geraint and Enid. They were originally published as a single poem called "Enid" in 1859; he later split it into two poems, "The Marriage of Geraint" and "Geraint and Enid".
  • Gereint ac Enid, aussi connu sous le titre Gereint, fils d’Erbin, est un conte qui fait partie des Trois romances galloises, généralement associés aux Mabinogion, depuis leur traduction du gallois en anglais, par Lady Guest, au XIX siècle. Il ne doit pas être confondu avec le poème homonyme de Chrétien de Troyes, que l’on date de 1165. Les spécialistes pensent que les deux textes sont issus d’une même source aujourd’hui perdue, mais il est probable que Gereint soit basé directement ou indirectement sur l’histoire d’Érec (bien que Chrétien de Troyes ait pu avoir une source d’origine celtique). Les trois contes sont contenus dans le Livre Blanc de Rhydderch et dans le Livre Rouge de Hergest, deux ouvrages du XIV siècle.

Het verhaal behoort tot de Arthur-legende en is gebaseerd op het oorspronkelijke werk Érec et Énide van de Franse dichter Chrétien de Troyes dat dateert uit ca. 1170. Het verhaal is bewaard gebleven in het Witte boek van Rhydderch, dat dateert uit de eerste helft van de 14e eeuw en in het uit de tweede helft van de 14e eeuw stammende Rode boek van Hergest.
