Abstract
In 1455 an anonymous prose writer adapted Chrétien de Troyes’ Cligés (1176). Seeking no doubt to appeal to his Burgundian contemporaries steeped in war culture, he made the combat scenes much more vivid and detailed while condensing the love intrigue. This article compares the verse and prose accounts of Cligés’s performance at two moments in his evolution, as a novice in the war waged by the duke of Saxony and as a more experienced knight in a tournament organized by King Arthur.
