Par penitence les cumandet a ferir: a legitimação do combate contra os pagãos na Chanson de Roland e na Chanson de Guillaume. 2010. 113f. Dissertação (Mestrado) – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2010. A Chanson de Roland, obra construída no século XIX como fundadora da literatura francesa, foi bastante explorada ao longo dos últimos 150 anos, muitas vezes com usos políticos, nem sempre expressos. Apesar de exaustivamente trabalhada pelos estudos literários, são quase inexistentes as investigações históricas sobre o seu conteúdo cristão e suas possíveis relações com a legitimação do combate contra os pagãos. Este trabalho investiga de que forma os pagãos são representados na gestas do final do século XI, e como estas constroem uma alteridade através da religião, da moralidade, da territorialidade, e da etnicidade. Investiga também como os cristãos são representados dentro uma unidade pan-européia, numa sobreposição das noções de império e cristandade, e como sua luta contra os pagãos é legitimada, e mesmo santificada, pelas obras, através do martírio dos seus cavaleiros. Palavras-chave: Cristandade. Canção de Gesta. Cavalaria. Martírio. Islã. 8 ABSTRACT BITTENCOURT Gouveia, L. Par les penitence cumandet a ferir: the legitimacy of combat against the pagans in the Song of Roland and in the Song of William. 2010. 113f. Thesis (Mast) - Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Sciences, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, 2010. The Song of Roland, explored in the nineteenth century as the main text of French literature, was heavily exploited over the past 150 years, often with political uses, not always expressed. Despite extensive work by literary studies, there hardly any historical research on its Christian content and its possible association with the legitimacy of the combat against the pagans. This work investigates how the pagans are represented in the gestas of the late eleventh century, and how they build an otherness through religion, morality, territoriality, and ethnicity.It also investigates how Christians are represented in a pan-European unity, in a superposition of the notions of empire and Christianity, and how their fight against the heathen is legitimated and even sanctified through the martyrdom of their knights. Keywords: Christianity. Chanson de geste. Chivalry. Martyrdom. Islam. 9 Sumário 1.

INTRODUÇÃO Em agosto de 778, Charles recebeu a notícia de uma rebelião na Saxônia e que seu líder, o saxão Widuking, aproximava-se do Reno. Os saxões, cuja submissão ao rei era recente, ofereciam um perigo real, devido à sua proximidade com um dos palácios imperiais. Charles, que ainda não era Magno, decidiu retornar a Aix-la-Chapelle e lidar com a ameaça saxã. Estava então em campanha no nordeste da Península Ibérica, nos arredores de Pamplona. É o que nos informam os anais carolíngios. Os Annales Mettenses priores, que registram os fatos ocorridos desde a ascensão de Pepino de Herstal, por volta de 675, até o ano de 805, nos informam sobre a submissão dos povos que habitavam a região de Navarra, de alguns muçulmanos recebidos como reféns e da destruição de Pamplona pelos francos e do vitorioso retorno do rei. Outros anais carolíngios repetem as mesmas informações1. Apenas os Annales regni Francorum inde ab a. 741 usque ad a. 829 trazem detalhes sobre a campanha na Espanha. Primeiro, apresentam os adversários wascones, em seguida falam do assalto e conseqüente tomada de Pamplona, assim como da sua posterior destruição, além da entrega dos reféns muçulmanos. A principal informação, completamente ausente nos outros

  • The Gendered World of the Chanson De Guillaume
    The Gendered World of the Chanson de Guillaume Patricia Black California State University, Chico The Chanson de Guillaume remains a problematic epic when viewed against the influential Oxford Roland, not to mention other chansons de geste. Though it is one of the earliest epics extant, it nevertheless fails to conform to the "early epic" criteria. Doubly double, it not only repeats the same events already narrated, it has a sequel qua repeat known as Aliscans. In the doubled narration of the Chanson de Guillaume itself, the repeated material emphasizes the scenes between William and Guibourc as well as the battles. The prominent role she plays may or may not define the epic norm, according to which critic one follows.1 At any rate, Guibourc has no counterpart in the Oxford Roland. However, in the Chanson de Guillaume, Guibourc is not alone: Blancheflor, the kings wife, also plays a brief but important part in the action. Though Guibourc and Blancheflor never meet, they nevertheless have a relationship which bears on the problematic nature of this epic. A convert to Chris- tianity, Guibourc helps turn the tide against the Saracens and save the city of Orange. Their strategies include William's journeying to King Louis' court for the express purpose of enlisting aid; unfortunately, Guibourc and William will finally not be able to de- pend on their sovereign for more than a token gesture. Louis is influenced by Blancheflor, his wife and 21, 3-4 42 Patricia Black Williams sister. She resists giving help to William out of animosity toward Guibourc. The clash between these two incarnations of medieval women ends by revealing fundamental attitudes toward women in an epic context and makes the Chanson de Guillaume an important work in specifically tracing attitudes to- ward gender in the medieval period.

  • 1 the Middle Ages
    THE MIDDLE AGES 1 1 The Middle Ages Introduction The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years, from the break-up of the Roman Empire in the fifth century to the end of the fifteenth, when there was an awareness that a ‘dark time’ (Rabelais dismissively called it ‘gothic’) separated the present from the classical world. During this medium aevum or ‘Middle Age’, situated between classical antiquity and modern times, the centre of the world moved north as the civil- ization of the Mediterranean joined forces with the vigorous culture of temperate Europe. Rather than an Age, however, it is more appropriate to speak of Ages, for surges of decay and renewal over ten centuries redrew the political, social and cultural map of Europe, by war, marriage and treaty. By the sixth century, Christianity was replacing older gods and the organized fabric of the Roman Empire had been eroded and trading patterns disrupted. Although the Church kept administrative structures and learning alive, barbarian encroachments from the north and Saracen invasions from the south posed a continuing threat. The work of undoing the fragmentation of Rome’s imperial domain was undertaken by Charlemagne (742–814), who created a Holy Roman Empire, and subsequently by his successors over many centuries who, in bursts of military and administrative activity, bought, earned or coerced the loyalty of the rulers of the many duchies and comtés which formed the patchwork of feudal territories that was France. This process of centralization proceeded at variable speeds. After the break-up of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the tenth century, ‘France’ was a kingdom which occupied the region now known as 2 THE MIDDLE AGES the Île de France.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

Susan Elizabeth Farrier, Ph.D. Cornell University, 1985. ANY SCHOLARS state as a truism that the Oxford Chanson de Roland M was written sometime around 1100. This date is misleading not only because it is artificially precise, but also because it suggests that the whole poem was composed all at the same time. Linguistic dating, however, re- veals vestiges of a tenth-century poem, as well as significant portions of eleventh- and twelfth-century redactions. These three linguistic strata are fairly evenly distributed throughout the poem — even in the so-called "Baligant episode." Linguistic dating essentially consists of two steps: (1) identifying the Latin forms of the Old French words found at the assonance and (2) de- termining the stage of development which the stressed vowel in each Old French word must have reached in order to assonate properly with all other verse-final words in the laisse. When the various strata are analyzed for stylistic consistency, the re- sults are surprisingly convincing. The tenth-century poet's work remains only in fragmentary version, so little can be said of his style — except in re- lation to his use of the topos of the prophetic dream.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

    FAMILY, LINEAGE AND KINSHIP IN THE CYCLE DE GUILLAUME D ' ORANGE By RONALD GENE KOSS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1988 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES Copyright 1988 by Ronald Gene Koss ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank a number of people, all of whom con- tributed, either directly or indirectly, to both this dis- sertation and to my general intellectual development. My undergraduate mentor, Dr. Sandra Soares, inspired, helped and guided me, sparked my interest in the Middle Ages, and above all encouraged me to read, to think, and to imagine. I owe considerable thanks to Dr. George Diller, my disser- tation committee chairman, for his assistance with the me- chanical elements, particularly for helping me refine my expository style, as well as for letting me find my own way while still making sure I didn't get lost. The other mem- bers of my committee also deserve recognition. To Dr. J. Wayne Conner, I am indebted for his assistance in honing my rhetoric, and particularly for his guidance in preparing for my future career. And Dr. Partick Geary's suggestion of the cycle de Guillaume as an area of study, as well as his help with with the historical and social aspects of this study, were invaluable. Finally, and most importantly, I thank my wife Mary, without whose encouragement, motivation, and the sacrifice of a great deal of time and companionship, I could never have accomplished my goals.

Mais on comprendra que les débuts d'une publication de ce genre soient difficiles : un rythme doit être pris, des habitudes doivent se créer, des liens doivent se resserrer, ce qui exige parfois beau- coup de temps. On constatera donc, dans les pages qui suivent, de fâcheuses lacunes, soit que certains travaux n'aient pas été signalés, soit que d'autres aient été enregistrés sans aucun commentaire. On s'efforcera de remédier ultérieurement à ces déficiences regrettables par des rappels appropriés. On reconnaîtra en tout cas l'effort qui a été fait tant dans la bibliographie elle-même que dans le compte-rendu du Congrès de Poitiers, et surtout de l'importante Table Ronde tenue à cette occasion sur la Chanson de Roland. Nous remercions tous ceux qui ont bien voulu participer à cet effort, après avoir contribué au succès de la réunion de juillet 1959.

  • "E Cil De France Le Cleiment a Guarant": Roland, Vivien Et Le Thème
    Wolfgang G. van Emden "E cil de France le cleiment a guarant": Roland, Vivien et le thème du guarant The following paper, which was read at the Sixth International Congress of the Société Rencesvals at Aix-en-Provence in August 1973, will appear also in the Acts of that Conference, which are being edited by the Université de Provence, and are expected to appear at the end of 1974. I should add that when writing this paper I did not have avail- able to me the article of Professor William W. Kibler, "Roland's Pride," (Symposium, 26 [1972], pp. 147-160). Professor Kibler has since had the kindness to send me a copy of his article which I would certainly have quoted in reference to the "third school" discussed in my own paper. A preliminary note of this kind is not, of course, the place in which to reply to another scholar's study; I must limit myself to stating that, in spite of the balanced and moderate arguments put forward by Prof. Kibler, I do not find myself in agreement with him on his basic con- clusions, and that I think many of the points he raises are in fact envisaged and covered in the paper which follows. A lire et à relire les études qui s'échelonnent depuis des décennies au sujet de la conception morale de la Chanson de Roland, l'on est en droit, ce me semble, d'avouer que la tête vous tourne, ou qu'on ne sait plus où en donner. En s'en tenant aux études parues depuis une quinzaine d'années, on constate néanmoins que des écoles semblent se con- stituer, surtout outre-Atlantique, dont les conclusions sur les mêmes 4000 vers sont plus ou moins contradictoires.
