Iwein is a Middle High German verse romance by the poet Hartmann von Aue, written around 1203.[1] An Arthurian tale freely adapted from Chrétien de Troyes' Old French Yvain, the Knight of the Lion, it tells the story of Iwein (Ywain), a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. It was written after Hartmann's Erec, and may have been his last work.[1]
