User blog:Nick xylas/Anglish word for romance?

I'm looking for an Anglish word for romance, in the older sense of the word (as in "Arthurian romance" rather than "Harlequin/Mills & Boon romance"). The wordbook suggest "lovecraft" for romanticism, which might fit for romance in the latter sense of the word, but not the one I'm looking for; while "tale" is not really specific enough. Any ideas?
