A medieval French romance that tells the fantastical story of Coustans, a commoner who marries the daughter of a pagan emperor. Through a series of events, Coustans becomes emperor himself and converts the land to Christianity. The story also mentions the founding of Constantinople. While the specific location of "Over Sea" is not mentioned, it likely refers to a faraway and fantastical land in the East.
