- Title
Las mujeres y la formación del joven guerrero en la primera parte de Hugues Capet.
- Authors
LÓPEZ MARTÍNEZ-MORAS, Santiago
- Abstract
Hugues Capet is a 14th century epic that has its ideological basis in the Salic Law. In accordance with the spirit of said law, the author assigns the female characters of the song a secondary or passive role compared to their male relatives, particularly in the first part of the text: that relating to the origin of the hero and his youthful adventures. Beyond the obstacle posed by the bourgeois ancestry of the future king's mother, the different episodes in this part in which women and their male relatives intervene seem to anticipate, to a greater or lesser extent, later moments linked to female exclusion in the succession to the French throne.
