A translation into English of Albert Henry's definitive edition of Adenet le Roi's Cleomadés, a story based on a tale from The One Thousand and One Nights.Palace and pageantry, music and feast contribute to the poetic beauty of the tale, in which the hero Cleomadés and his sweetheart Clarmondine share love of an intensity evoking that of Layla and Majnun, of Isolde and Tristan, of Guinevere and Lancelot. When adventures with a mechanical flying horse separate them disastrously, the lovers undertake epic journeys and devise ingenious ruses to effect their eventual union. In medieval French tradition, their ardour is the consuming passion of the narrative. However, Cleomadés is replete with material on the status of women, of the disabled, of the insane, of religious toleration, of violent behaviour, of duty toward parents. Produced in Paris in 1285 under the patronage of Marie de Brabant, queen of France and daughter of Adenet's first patron, Cleomadés crowns its author's illustrious career.

Les 16 études que réunit ce volume explorent les problématiques soulevées par les représentants d'une catégorie de personnes royales au rôle institutionnel flou et à la position particulièrement inconfortable. Conçus comme des pièces d'ajustement aux besoins monarchiques, les frères de roi sont condamnés à occuper un entre-deux politique : ils doivent attendre — et peut-être à jamais — que la virtualité de leur statut soit levée. Cet ouvrage examine la diversité des espaces symboliques et réels réservés aux puînés royaux de la première modernité à travers l'analyse de cas particuliers envisagés à l'échelle européenne (Angleterre, Empire, Espagne, France, Pologne)
