''Three Hearts And Three Lions'' is a fantasy novel by Creator/PoulAnderson published in 1961, expanded from a 1953 novella by Anderson which appeared in Fantasy & Science Fiction.

During UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, Holgar Carlsen is in Denmark, part of LaResistance. Except that at one crucial moment, he finds himself transported to a fantasy world, where the Matter of France from ChivalricRomance, Charlemagne and his paladins, is true. And that he has some sort of connection with this world that he can not remember. He has a pile of armor, and a steed, waiting for him.

A major influence on ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', as well as Michael Moorcock's saga of Elric of Melniboné.
