La Chanson des Saxons, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) (French Edition)
(Excerpt from La Chanson des Saxons, Vol. 1 Charlemagne n...)
Excerpt from La Chanson des Saxons, Vol. 1 Charlemagne n'ont guère tenu compte de son histoire. Ils parlent à peine de ses guerres et de ses conquêtes d'outre Rhin. Je crois avoir vu le titre d'un roman où il s'agit, à ce qu'il paraît, d'une expédition de ce monarque contre les Saxons. Je ne puis parler de ce roman, ne l'ayant pas même parcouru. Je soupçonne toutefois qu'il est d'une date assez récente, bien postérieure à la fin du treizième siècle, etc. M. Fauriel, Origine de l'e'pogye'e romanesque au moyen âge, seconde lecon.

Jehan Bodel
Edit ProfileCareer
Very little is known of his life, but in 1205 Bodel was about to start for the crusade when he was attacked by leprosy. In a touching poem called Le Conge (pr. by Meon in Recueil de fabliaux et contes, vol. I. ), he bade farewell to his friends and patrons, and begged for a nomination to a leper hospital. He wrote Le Jeu de Saint Nicolas, one of the earliest miracle plays preserved in French (printed in Monmerque and Michel's Theatre francais du moyen age, 1839, and for the Soc. des bibliophiles francais, 1831); the Chanson des Saisnes (ed. F. Michel 1839), four pastourelles (printed in K. Bartsch's Altfranz. Romanzen und Pastourellen, Leipzig, 1870); and probably, the eight fabliaux attributed to an unknown Jean Bedel. The legend of Saint Nicholas had already formed the subject; the Chanson des Saisnes (ed. F. Michel 1839), four pastourelles (printed in K. Bartsch's Altfranz. Romanzen und Pastourellen, Leipzig, 1870); and probably, the eight fabliaux attributed to an unknown Jean Bedel. The legend of Saint Nicholas had already formed the subject of the Latin Ludus Sancti Nicholai of Hilarius. Bodel placed the scene partly on a field of battle in Africa, where the crusaders perish in a hopeless struggle, and partly in a tavern. The piece, loosely connected by the miracle of Saint Nicholas narrated in the prologue, ends with a wholesale conversion of the African king and his subjects. The dialogue in the tavern scenes is written in thieves' slang, and is very obscure. The Chanson des Saisnes, Bodel's authorship of which has been called in question, is a chanson de geste belonging to the period of decadence, and is really a roman d'aventures based on earlier legends belonging to the Charlemagne cycle. It relates the wars of Charlemagne against the Saxons under Guiteclin de Sassoigne (Witikind or Widukind), with the second revolt of the Saxons and their final submission and conversion. Jehan Bodel makes no allusion to Ogier the Dane and many other personages of the Charlemagne cycle, but he mentions the defeat of Roland at Roncevaux. The romance is based on historical fact, but is overlaid with romantic detail. It really embraces three distinct legends-those of the wars against the Saxons, of Charlemagne's rebellious barons, and of Baudouim and Sebille. The earlier French poems on the subject are lost, but the substance of them is preserved in the Scandinavian versions of the Charlemagne cycle (supposed to have been derived from English sources) known as the Karlamagnussaga (ed. Unger, Christiania, 1860) and Keiser Karl Magnus Kronike (Romantisk Digtnung, ed. C. J. Brandt, Copenhagen, 1877).
Achievements
-
Bodel was the first person of record to classify the legendary themes and literary cycles known to medieval literature into the "Three Matters"; the "Matter of Rome", or retellings of stories from classical antiquity; the "Matter of Britain", concerning King Arthur; and the "Matter of France", concerning Charlemagne and his paladins.
