Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chivalry Our first intention was to give this volume the more expanded title of "Chivalry, according to the Epic Poems," hut we have been compelled to consult so many other authorities that we feel obliged to adopt a more general and shorter title. The Epic Poems (Chansons de Geste) do not the less remain as the principal and the best of all our sources of information; for in them (in our own opinion) we find the truest pictures of Chivalry itself, and the most exact representations of the days of Chivalry. The authors of these popular poems, whose sincerity is unquestionable, only depicted what they actually witnessed. No other writers have so minutely described the costumes, armour, habitations, furniture, the private lives and the manners of the Feudal nobility. Good judges are not easily deceived. There is perhaps not a page of the admirable Glossary of Ducange, or of the Memoirs of Saint Palaye, which does not bear witness to the truthfulness of our songs. Nor does Jules Quicherat hold them in less esteem; he declares in round terms that "their heroes are creations modelled on Feudal seignors."
