REVIEW Cei is one of the most puzzling figures in the development
of the Arthurian legend: a hero beyond compare in the early Welsh
sources, his appearances in later Arthurian literature are
frequently associated with comic defeatin combat, objectionable
outspokenness, and sometimes with more serious misdeeds. This study
assesses Cei from his native Welsh context to his role in the
romances of Chretien de Troyes and later developments, in which the
authorlooks at the portrayal of Cei in a selection of
medievalContinental, Welsh and English works, before moving closer
to the present day and the rich heritage of English ballad and
Gaelic folktale; the ending offers something of a surprise. This
account of the long and varied career of one of Arthur's closest
associates shows how a sympathetic approach to Cei can shed new
light on some particularly controversial aspects of Arthurian
studies.
