- W20184493 abstract "It is often assumed that love in Old french romances derivesfrom Provencal fin'amors, in which love and marriage are incompatible.Yet in at least half the surviving octosyllabic romances writtenbefore 1300, love leads to marriage. The present thesis studiesthese marital romances. Part I discusses modern critics' views onthe importance of Provencal influence, later sections look at marriageas it affects heroes and heroines of romances. Love and marriage arevery closely associated for these protagonists, who normally rejectboth marriage without love, and love without marriage. However, theidea of marriage for love conflicts with the feudal concept ofmarriage for profit or political advantage. These problems aregenerally solved by the combination of both concepts in the weddingof hero and heroine. Since the heroine is generally an heiress,while the hero is of lower rank, and may be poor, marriage to theheroine brings him wealth and status, as well as fulfilment in love.After his wedding, the hero acts as a good feudal lord, arrangingrich marriages for his followers. Such heroes embody the aspirationsof landless knights of the period, performing military service inthe hope of being rewarded by a wife and lands. However, thedifference in rank creates problems for both partners; these arestudied, as are the problem of the couple's decision on pre-maritalchastity, and the position of the heroine forced into an unwelcomematch. A separate section describes the developing canon law ofmarriage at the period. This enables comparisons to be made betweenthe romances and contemporary Church doctrine. Although the romancesreflect some aspects of canon law, in many cases they reflect insteadthe matrimonial customs of the feudal aristocracy, which frequentlyconflicted with the pattern the Church was currently seeking to impose." @default.
