Resumen: |
The Poema de Alfonso Onceno (1348), which recounts the life and exploits of King Alfonso XI of Castile, contains several comparisons of participants in the Battle of Río Salado (1340) to Carolingian heroes. Among them, there is a mysterious reference to a "King Fieles" of "Anglia" that does not appear in any known Carolingian narratives. This article proposes that this is in fact a character in the legend of famed lovers Floire and Blancheflor, grandparents of Charlemagne in the emperor's mythical genealogy. The Poema de Alfonso Onceno would therefore contain the first known allusion to the story in a Carolingian context in Castile and could perhaps point to the presence at the Castilian court in the 1340s of the compilation that would eventually be the basis of the Crónica carolingia around fifty years later. |
