Abstract

Some cantigas de escarnio e maldizer by the Galician-Portuguese Troubadour Fernan Soarez de Quinhones hint at epic Literature in a parodic and satirical manner, through the use of forms and style of the epic genre but also thanks to a deep network of intertextual relationships. The study and analysis of the possible sources used by the author in his satirical poems can tell us something more about the literary culture of the Troubadours gathered at the court of the infante Alfonso, in the fourth decade of the 13th century; at the same time, it will be possible to provide useful data on the influence of Old French epic poetry in medieval Iberia.
