Amadís de Gaula

a Spanish romance of chivalry. Probably originating in the 14th century, it has come down to us only in the reworked version by Rodríguez de Mon-talvo (4 vols., 1508). It became popular in the 16th century and gave rise to many sequels and imitations. In Don Quixote, M. Cervantes, while parodying Amadís de Gaula, acknowledged its worth. The influence of the Renaissance concepts of the “just monarchy” is perceived in the romance. Its plot conflicts often coincide with those found in Breton and Carolingian epic cycles.
