It redirects to Chivalric romance, but the term "medieval romance" is not introduced there as a synonym. I understand that both terms are used to disambiguate the term "romance", but the question remains: was there any kind of medieval romance other than chivalric romance?
This article[1] seems to say that at the very early times of the usage of the term "romans" there "romanses" were not necessarily chivalric and could include "free translations of Latin epics and chronicles", which, I guess, were far from "chivalric" - there were no chevaliers (knights) in Ancient Rome, right? Someone well-versed in literary lore, please update the article Chivalric romance with the clarification of the term "medieval romance", e.g., basing on the article I cited.

I am perplexed because it does not seem to me that this question-- was there any kind of medieval romance other than chivalric romance?-- is a question that this article needs to address. Medieval romance already redirects to chivalric romance because they are roughly synonymous. If that seems wrong to you, the right place to discuss it is the talk page for chivalric romance. I am happy to have the wikitext of this article read either medieval romance or medieval chivalric romance since the redirect makes them equivalent, so the current state of this sentence seems fine. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:38, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
