Floris and Blancheflour is the name of a popular romantic story that was told in the Middle Ages in many different vernacular languages and versions. It first appears in Europe around 1160 in aristocratic French. Roughly between the period 1200 and 1350 it was one of the most popular of all the romantic plots. The Middle English version of the poem derives from an Old French aristocratic version but differs somewhat in details. The opening section concerning how the two are born is missing from the English versions. Originally it dates to around 1250 and was called Floris and Blanchefleur.
