  • Para Estudiar La Imagen Épica De Francia En La Literatura Caste
    PERSONAJES DE LA ÉPICA FRANCESA EN LA LITERATURA CASTELLANA MEDIEVAL ANA M.A MUSSONS Para estudiar la imagen épica de Francia en la literatura caste- llana medieval hemos de ir a parar forzosamente al Romancero, las crónicas o a relatos como La Gran conquista de Ultramar. Induda- blemente el trabajo sería mucho más fácil si lo que nos planteára- mos aquí fuera la imagen de España en la épica francesa, porque la mayoría de los cantares de gesta franceses narran historias que transcurren en España: Barcelona, Gerona, Balaguer, Barbastro, Gandía, Toledo, Córdoba ...por citar sólo algunos de los topónimos que podemos encontrar. Es evidente que, como zona fronteriza, la marca hispánica se ofrecía como algo enormemente atractivo para desarrollar el germen de las leyendas guerreras de Carlomagno o de otros héroes de gran talla como Roldán, Renaut de Montauban, Girart de Roussillon, Guillermo... y que la Reconquista española pre- sentaba la posibilidad de aproximación de las cruzadas de Oriente, tan alejadas. Por este motivo, quizás, reciben el mismo tratamiento y, en los cantares de gesta, turcos, eslavos, árabes o bretones son catalogados indistintamente como enemigos de Francia sin más par- ticularizaciones. Grisward, en su obra Archéologie de l'épopée médiévale/ afirma que España representa, dentro de la épica francesa, la guerra, mien- tras que Italia es la riqueza y Francia la soberanía, de esta manera se reparten imaginariamente las tres funciones con que se caracte- riza la ordenación de las civilizaciones indoeuropeas. La geografía española que puede recorrerse en los cantares de gesta franceses puede ser fantástica e interpretable en sentidos muy diversos, entre 1.

Thus, the majority of the poems of the Guillaume cycle, the most developed of the epic cycles, have come down to us only in cyclical manuscripts. On the other hand, although poems of the cycle du roi are grouped together in some monuscripts, there is, as fur as I know, no extant manuscript which attempts to connect the poems; this reflects the relative lack of cohesion of the cycle du roi. Similarly, we can expect the grouping of epics of revolt to reflect the degree to which the cycle developed. The factors that determined the grouping of texts in a m,.:muscript indicate what were seen to be the most importont ele­ ments connecting the vorious poems.

  • The Book of Huon De Bordeaux
    John Bourchier, Lord Berners The Book of Huon de Bordeaux. Adapted from French Sources, 1525–1533 Printed by Wynkyn de Worde 1534 Second edition in 1570, now lost Third edition by Thomas Purfoot, 1601 Critical edition by S. L. Lee for the Early English Text Society, 1882–1887 Huon, the young Duke of Bordeaux, has been summoned to do his feudal service to his liege lord, Charlemagne. On his way to Paris, he has killed Charlot, Charlemagne’s oldest son, who had ambushed him, seduced by Amaury, a treacherous lord. Charlemagne orders Huon to be killed, but on the strident urging of all his lords he remits the capital punishment and replaces it with an impossible quest: Huon must go to Babylon (Old Cairo) and defy the Admiral (Amir) of Babylon by kissing his daughter four times in the presence of her father, removing the Admiral’s beard and four great teeth, and taking them back to Charlemagne as a peace offering. As the story below begins, Huon, Garyn his uncle, and their entourage have embarked for the Holy Land from Brindisi, a port in southeastern Italy.

Dans les chansons de geste, nombreuses sont les crises, qui opposent les chrétiens aux ennemis de la foi, ou un seigneur à son vassal, notamment un roi à un grand feudataire. Parmi les chansons de révolte, également appelées chansons des barons rebelles, où les torts sont toujours partagés1, la Chevalerie Ogier occupe une place un peu singulière, dans la mesure où, à la différence de ce que l’on constate par exemple dans Renaut de Montauban, Girart de Roussillon, Girart de Vienne, Doon de Mayence, Ogier refuse obstinément, après le meurtre de son fils par Charlot, le fils de Charlemagne, toute proposition de paix, s’acharnant pendant des années à vouloir se venger en tuant Charlot, allant jusqu’à affronter physiquement, et délibérément, l’empereur, lui- même mû par une égale obstination2.

  • Belle Narration Que Le Voyage Et L'aventure Envahissent
    Caroline Cazanave LA VIOLENCE EN ACTION ET EN DISCUSSION DANS L’UNIVERS DES HUON DE BORDEAUX Belle narration que le voyage et l’aventure envahissent, la fable en décasyllabes que raconte Huon de Bordeaux (apparue au début du XIIIe, comme en fait foi le bref résumé qu’en donne la Chronique d’Aubri de Trois-Fontaines) est remplie d’épisodes qui n’ont pas trait aux croisades, à la révolte contre le pouvoir royal ou encore aux affrontements de la société faidale, ce qui amène à se demander si le parcours du protagoniste et des acteurs qui évoluent autour de lui peut révéler des formes de violence marquées, variables et intéressantes. Pour répondre à cette question de manière nuancée, l’histoire littéraire a son mot à dire. La fortune du premier poème a été telle que la somme des produits culturels obtenus à partir de Huon, puis de son avatar Oberon, est aujourd’hui impossible à chiffrer. Alors que la tendance générale s’oriente vers l’abrègement et l’édulcoration du narré, la mouvance interdisciplinaire et diachronique entraîne nombre de modifications de procédure qui affectent la place accordée aux violences et les jugements touchant à l’emploi de la force. Á l’intérieur d’une sélection concernant les assises du Huon de Bordeaux se révèle un terrain d’observation propre à découvrir la façon dont la première mise en forme narratologique traite certains éléments moteurs et conçoit dans la partie introductive les notions de droit attachées à l’enchaînement des actes. L’interrogation se préoccupe de savoir si certains éléments de débat, développés au moins de manière implicite, ont été perçus et encouragés dès le Moyen Âge.

Until Judg- ment Day one cannot praise him enough for doing so. The brave king has returned to Aragon where he was crowned, taking the sultan and many heathen with him as prisoners. Blessed are the king and the people who love him, but disaster and misfortune may strike everybody who hates him. He greatly resembles his father Saiwine.”2 The innkeeper speaking in these lines is reacting to a request for information by the traitor Guweloen (Ganelon). Guweloen would like to know more about Huge of Bordeeus (Huon de Bordeaux), eldest son of Duke Saiwine (Seguin de Bordeaux).

  • Trial by Battle in France and England
    Trial by Battle in France and England by Ariella Elema A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto (c) Ariella Elema, 2012 Trial by Battle in France and England Ariella Elema Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Trial by battle was a medieval European form of legal proof in which difficult lawsuits were decided by a single combat between two duellists before a judge. This dissertation surveys the history of trial by battle in the French-speaking regions of the European continent and England, concentrating on the period between roughly 1050 and 1350 when it was most practiced. Chapter One examines the origins of the procedure and the earliest references to it in the legal codes of the early Middle Ages. The second chapter discusses the courts in which it could be used and the gradual process by which higher courts reserved the privilege of holding judicial duels. Chapter Three examines the nature of the suits in which trial by battle could be used, while Chapter Four looks at the litigants who participated in it, finding that not only knights, but also poor men, could fight judicial duels, while women, clergy, Jews, the young, the elderly, the disabled and certain kinds of kin enjoyed varying forms and levels of ii exemption from them. The fifth chapter traces the steps involved in a lawsuit leading to proof by battle, while the sixth one describes the procedures on the duelling field and the consequences of winning and losing a judicial duel.
