Chanson d'Antioche

Could someone take a quick look at Chanson d'Antioche and determine if I have appropriately categorized it as Matter of France? John (Jwy) 21:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Matter of France is generally about Charlemagne and his associates, so I took it out. Thanks for pointing it out.--Cuchullain 22:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just going to ask about this myself. Where does the Crusade Cycle fit in? Aside from Antioche there is also the "Chanson de Jerusalem" and the "Chanson des chétifs", and maybe some more, I'm not sure. I guess it's just called "the Crusade Cycle", and we could make a separate article about it. Adam Bishop 02:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a category for Crusade literature, but it has no article (and some of the entries are for chronicles and such rather than just poem cycle). I think the "Crusade Cycle" would make a good article.--Cuchullain 02:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't interpret the meaning of this phrase in the article: "...although Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions takes place in a fantasy world where it was historical fact." Help.JGC1010 (talk) 01:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How should "Matter" (and matière) be read/translated?

The great quote in the opening section had me thinking -- it translates "matieres" as "literary cycles"; it literally translates to "matter" (which is, I believe, why we call these cycles "matters". That said, how would someone reading the quote about the "three great cycles" have understood the word matiere, at the time? (I was tempted to alter the translation to simply say "matter" as opposed to "literary cycle"...hence the question).
