Abstract
The Arthurian prose cycle of romances, written in France in the early 13thcentury, was soon to be known throughout Europe, namely in Portugal. On the one hand, this cycle is the acme of Romanesque writing featuring King Arthur and his knights; yet, on the other hand, these texts also expose the outpacing of the chivalric model as they formalize and describe a specific mind frame of coeval aristocracy, built around the concept of lineage. Memory of the ancestors and blood kinship are the basis of a particular bondage between individuals that confers legitimacy to the dispute for social supremacy at a time when, throughout Europe, monarchy prepares the tools that will serve the historical prevailing of royal power
