The medieval romance was nothing like what you think of "romance" today -- there was a lot of unrequited love, love from afar, and pure love with no physical affection at all. The essential element is that a man -- usually a knight -- feels an honorable love for a woman and wants to do great deeds in her honor.
Medieval romances contribute elements like chivalry, heroism, courtly love, and epic adventures that give novels a sense of grandeur and escapism. They also often feature strong themes of honor, loyalty, and moral lessons that add depth and meaning to the storytelling. Additionally, medieval romances provide a rich historical and cultural backdrop that can immerse readers in a different time and place.
