One of the ladies in Broad Universe, Sue Burke, who lives in Spain is doing a translation of Amadis of Gaul. This medieval romance of chivalry was a best-seller in its time all over Europe and had a whole series of spin-offs. It's one of the "seed stories" of Western Romance and the one Don Quixote satirized. There have been few translations into English, two of them abridged and another very poor.

Sue's posting it on her blog, a chapter a week on Tuesdays with comments Thursdays. The blog is absolutely gorgeous with period illustrations.
