Cruces genéricos y de materias narrativas. Motivos tradicionales en Le Roman D’Auberon y Huon de Bordeaux

Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of Le roman d'Auberon and, tangentially, in Huon de Bordeaux, texts that conclude and initiate, respectively, the cycle of Huon de Bordeaux. Our hypothesis is that Auberon functions narratively as the conciliatory character par excellence, as he collaborates decisively with the end of the conflict between the lord and his vassal in Huon de Bordeaux (Huon returns from exile and reconciles with Charlemagne thanks, mainly, to Auberon). In addition, different literary-discursive (which come into play generically as chanson de geste and roman) and cultural medieval traditions (related to Breton, French and Roman materias) come together in his figure. On this occasion, we will focus on one of the formal tools through which this hybridity takes shape: the variety of motifs.
