| Summary | "Fierabras" by Jehan Bagnyon is a historical romance written in the late medieval period. This narrative explores the legendary battles and adventures surrounding the heroic figures of Charlemagne and his knights, particularly focusing on the confrontation between the valiant Olivier and the formidable giant, Fierabras. The text is imbued with themes of faith, valor, and the struggle between Christianity and paganism, highlighting the epic tales related to the foundation of France and the valor of its kings. The opening of "Fierabras" sets the stage for a grand tale of chivalry and epic proportions. It introduces the reader to a historical framework, recounting the lineage of French kings beginning with Clovis, the first Christian king of France, and transitioning to Charlemagne. As the story unfolds, the tension builds around a looming battle where the giant Fierabras challenges the French knights, and it is revealed that Olivier, despite his wounds, resolves to confront Fierabras in defense of his king and faith. The narrative promises a rich tapestry of heroic deeds, divine interventions, and vengeful quests as it delves into the conflict between these mighty warriors.
