The Roman de Fergus is an Arthurian romance written in Old French probably at the very beginning of the 13th century, by a very well educated author who named himself Guillaume le Clerc (William the Clerk). The main character is Fergus, the son of Soumilloit (Scottish Gaelic: Somhairle; English: Sorley or Somerled), a rich but old-fashioned farmer and a noble Arthurian woman who rises to become the best knight of King Arthur.

Famous quotes containing the word roman:
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
