She Cleans Up Nicely
 Erec and Enide / int_2740531a
comment
She Cleans Up Nicely: Downplayed Trope. Enide is beautiful no matter what she's wearing, but her family is poor and cannot afford to dress her well. When she gets to court and is gifted some fine clothing, it "made her look more beautiful than ever."

comment
Birds of a Feather: Erec decides to marry Enide because she's beautiful. Enide decides to marry Erec because he's a prince. It's very convenient that they end up being very alike by shear coincidence.

World's Most Beautiful Woman

comment
World's Most Beautiful Woman: The custom is that whoever kills the White Stag gets a kiss from the fairest maiden. Not the fairest in the world, just fairest here at court. Even this lower standard still requires having to make a very controversial ruling about who that is.

comment
Depraved Dwarf: During The Grand Hunt, Guinevere, accompanied by Erec and a Lady-In-Waiting, see at a distance some knight and damsel who they want to go speak to. Then this random dwarf shows up. The dwarf "was rude and mean", "an ugly fellow and violent." He says they cannot go see that knight and damsel. Guinevere doesn't mean to accept this, an she first she sends in her lady-in-waiting, but when she tries to pass by force, the dwarf strikes her with a whip. Next Guinevere sends in Erec, and the dwarf whips him too.

Shout-Out: There are multiple references to Tristan and Iseult. Enide is prettier than Iseut the Fair Erec got more of a party for his victory than Tristan.

Boring Return Journey

comment
Boring Return Journey: After tracking down Yder, Erec brings him back to court. Downplayed Trope in that the trip there didn't take long either — it appears to only be a couple hours away — but it's also Lampshaded:

Political Hostage
 Erec and Enide / int_ea919c7f
comment
Political Hostage: Arthur offers to drop any issue with Yder if he joins his court. Its hard to tell if it's meant to be Political Hostage or Defeat Means Friendship, but the line "on this condition, that he should remain in the future at the court" kind of makes it sound like he's forbidden from leaving even for short visits.

One-Steve Limit: In a list of knights, there are 4 Yvains: Yvain the son of Uriien; Yvain of Loenel; Yvain the Adulterer; Yvain of Cavaliot. They're all throwaway names on a list, not characters we need to remember, so it's fine.

comment
Silver Fox: Downplayed Trope, but Enide's father is a handsome man despite his years. He's described as "a comely man, with white locks, debonair, pleasing, and frank." As the father of such a beautiful daughter, it makes sense that he's also good looking.

The Grand Hunt

comment
The Grand Hunt: Arthur holds a hunt for the White Stag. It's referred to as an "ancient custom" even as the time. It's linked with the custom that whoever can kill the White Stag gets a kiss from the fairest maiden at court.
