520 _aThe term « worker » appears for the first time in France in the late twelfth century to designate the person, man or woman, who worked manually for a wage. The chivalric novel written by Chrétien de Troyes between 1176 and 1181, Yvain, le chevalier au lion, offers one of the earliest descriptions of paid workers of the Middle Ages. The valiant knight’s brutal encounter with the realities of a female workshop constitutes one of the most powerful pages of medieval literature. His description testifies to a new reality where work, money and poverty appeared at the heart of the Arthurian legend.
