Abstract
The first part of the Libro del caballero Zifar is based on the hagiographic legend of Saint Eustace transmitted by the stories El Cavallero Plácidas and the Estoria del rey Guillelme in Escorial MS h-I-13. The theme of the death of the animals at the beginning of these stories allows us to appreciate the survival of motifs and traditions in the Castilian adventure story, as well as its chivalric reformulation from the medieval consideration of animals as human property, its symbolism for the chivalric status and the corresponding association between men and animals, as testified in the cultural productions of the beginning of the 14th century
