Abstract
The Middle English romance Ywain and Gawain elaborates its primary theme, a concern with trowth and luf, through its depiction of the friendship between two women – the aristocratic heroine Alundyne and her faithful maidservant Lunet. Their relationship generates the main components of the chivalric plot and grounds the thematic agenda of the romance in private female speech, thus presenting an alternative to the competitive male ethos of the chivalric romance.
