- Authors
Latowsky, Anne
- Abstract
A critique is presented of the Old French poem "Voyage of Charlemagne to Jerusalem and Constantinople," focusing on imagery and allusions to Christian kings, coronation, and investiture in the poem. The poem's depiction of the travels of Roman Emperor Charlemagne in the Byzantine Empire is discussed, as well as the description of competition between Charlemagne and the emperor of Constantinople. The portrayal of Charlemagne's queen and his own vanity are also mentioned.
