Who is Der Pleier?

Der Pleier is the pen name of a Middle High German poet active between 1240 and 1270 whose real name is unknown. He is the author of three long romances all on Arthurian subjects, the most famous of which is Garel von dem blühenden Tal, but little else is known of him. He was an important figure in the revival of Arthurian literature in Germany in the mid-13th century, after decades of declining interest in the subject.
