Abstract
La Chanson d’Antioche is an epic poem from the twelfth century which sings the deeds of the European army during the First Crusade, called by Pope Urban II in 1095. In this text, we can see the interaction between the Franks and the Saracens, at a greater scale than anything before, in a new territory, with a new purpose, with an enemy presented in a different, yet more detailed manner. As such, the aim of this article is to present a glimpse of this special character from two points of view, that of the war and that of the word, a character seen by the poet through a mirror, a rather deformed one, which will eventually present the Saracen in a distorted image.
