Esmoreit

Esmoreit is a Middle Dutch drama. It is one of the four abele spelen that are contained in the Hulthemse handschrift and consists of 1018 lines in rhyme.

The other abele spelen are: Gloriant, Lanseloet van Denemerken and Vanden Winter ende vanden Somer

The play is named after the masculine leading character Esmoreit, crown-prince of the Kingdom of Sicily. It deals with the love between two people of different social class and is followed by the sotternie, the farce, Lippijn.

One of its sources is the 14th-century chanson de geste Baudouin de Sebourc.
