Synopsis
Le Roman En Versis a scholarly edition of the Burgundian epic Girart de Rossillon, presented as a twelve-syllable alexandrine chanson de geste drawn from Latin sources and local vernacular tradition. The volume situates the poem as a Burgundian chronicle in verse, recounting the rise of Gérard de Rossillon and the shifting balance of power in late 9th-century Burgundy, Provence, and surrounding regions. It details the alliances, sieges, and territorial reallocations that accompany the fragile frontier peace after 853, as Gérard consolidates fortresses, holds royal frontiers, and ultimately capitulates at Vienne in 870. The text also highlights the role of monastic foundations such as Pothières and Vézelay, the involvement of bishops and abbots, and the emergence of Dijon as a political and religious center. The editors discuss manuscript evidence, dating and linguistic milieu, and offer a nuanced view of the IXth century as a period of transition rather than simple barbarism, with attention to parallel feudal figures who shape the future of Burgundy and France.
