thought he was paying homage
to the emperor. Ainieri tells Gi
rart of this outrage. Girart de
mands that the queen’s foot be
cut off. Charlemagne leads an
expedition against Girart’s city
and promises the city to Roland.
Roland, meanwhile, has met and
fallen in love with Aude, the sis
ter of Olivier.
Seven years of fighting take
place in which the same giant of
Hernaut’s adventures becomes in
volved. Roland finally fights
Olivier in what is intended to be
mortal combat. Both fall to the
ground exhausted and an angel fi
nally intervenes and tells them
to combine forces against the in
fidel.
After giving the main points of
the epic, Dougherty brought out
some of the characteristics of the
poem. He said-the entire work
belonged to the William cycle.
The preceding two cyles are the
Charlemagne cycle, and the Feu
dal Baron cycle, he explained.
‘THESE ARE the chief traits
of ‘La Geste de Monglane' which
justify', in my judgment, its being
considered a representative poem
of the William cycle,” Dougherty
continued. —
He stressed first the theme of
loyalty that existed throughout
the works toward “Garin de
Monglane.” Dougherty also noted
the creation of protagonists as a
new type of knight; one worldly
as well as pious.
THE USE of Saracen maidens
as heroines who desired Christian
baptism and marriage exemplified
the William cycle. Dougherty em
phasized. “a mingling of the no
bility of inspiration of the older
songs with a ‘verve epique,' which
at times becomes almost jest and
parody.”
He added that the epic included
a change of emphasis to conform
to the current vogue which stres
sed action, rather than inner
struggle. The epic also fitted into
the William cycle because of its
half-royal, half-feudal tone.
HE STRESSED, too, the im
portance of single combat in de
termining the outcome of each
son’s adventures and the assign
ing of a major role to the gro
tesque giant. The latter, Dough
erty felt, was a direct imitation
of a similar part of a giant in the
“Song of William,” for which the
cycle was named.
