Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Huon of Bordeaux is a popular character of French romance. He is the title character of a late 13th-century chason de geste, a French epic poem with romance elements. Huon is a knight in the court of Charlemagne and son of Seguin de Bordeaux. Tales of his adventures tell of his exploits both at home and in the East, where he fights Saracens (the term used in the chansons de geste but rejected in contemporary criticism) and wins the heart of the Princess Escalarmonde, and eventually inherits the throne of the fairy king, Auberon. Huon continues to be a folk hero. His adventures were adapted in the 15th and 16th centuries. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw a renewed interest in romance characters of the Middle Ages, Huon among them, with the first modern editions by scholars like Gaston Paris, as well as retellings for both adult and young readers.
