Abstract
This article discusses the relation between Byzantine bride-snatching ballads and Spanish Frontier Ballads. The article looks at social conflicts between different borderland societies and how the genre of bride-snatching ballads allowed characters to challenge social conventions and reconfigure new value systems. Ultimately, the article suggests that Byzantine sexual imagery contained in Byzantine material provides important clues for understanding the development of Muslim–Christian relations along the Spanish Christian–Muslim frontier.
