Abstract

The goal of this research is to analyse the image of marriage throughout the 11th and 12th having the reforming ideals of the Church as the basis. The intention is to make a comparitive study of the literary representations and the new religious ideals for marriage proposed by the Church at the same period. Four documents will be used: the Decretum by Burchard de Worms, the Concordia discordantium canonum by Gratian, the first three Lateran Councils and the decretal letters of Alexandre III, found in the Liber Extra. The literary sources will be Eric et Enide, Cliges, Lancelot, and Ivain, all written by Chretien de Troyes, a 12th century author. Were there transformations in the marriage doctrine in this period? If there were, is it possible to see them in the literature? Could we identify how the society was affected by such transformations through a comparative study? These are some of the questions that will guide the present study. (AU)
