Abstract
The Trojan king Priam makes his son Hector commander-in-chief of the army to fight the Greeks who came to lay siege to Troy. In the Roman de Troie, written by Benoît de Sainte-Maure in the twelfth century, Hector is an idealized leader and a model for the knights reading his text. Hector is fearless and his feat is exceptional. The third prose version of the Roman de Troie, written in the thirteenth century, introduces a slight change. His portrait as a leader changed. Indeed, Hector’s impetuosity is less glorified and even considered as a danger for the Trojan army.
