Excerpt from The Taill of Rauf Coilyear (About 1475 A. D.) (From the Unique Copy of Lekpreuik's Edition of 1572): With the Fragments of Roland and Vernagu, and Otuel (From the Unique Auchinleck Ms., About 1330 A. D.)
These ugly troops were also provided with numberless bells and other sonorous instruments, which, added to the hideous shouts and yells with which they advanced to the attack, produced a discord truly diabolical. It will readily be believed that the valorous knights, who formed the van of the Christian army, were very little disturbed either by the abominable features, or by the grotesque gesticulations, or by the dissonant noises Of these uncouth antagonists: but their horses, who were perfectly unprepared for an encounter with such musicians in masquerade, utterly refused to approach them, and, when roused by the Spur from the lethargy of astonishment into which they had been plunged by the unexpected sight, suddenly dispersed in all directions, and, charging the French infantry with the rapidity of lightning, threw them into confusion after which, communicating the panic to the body of reserve, they hurried the astonished Charle magne, together with his twelve peers, several miles from the field of battle.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book uniquely presents three medieval romance poems, all of which are only found in one manuscript. Drawing on historical sources, the author brings to life the tales of Roland and Vernagu, Otuel and the Saracen Ferumbras, and Rauf Coilgear, a legendary Scottish figure. The poems engage with the complexities of ideal chivalry and courtliness, while highlighting the role of faith and honor in chivalric society. The literary significance of these texts lies not only in their entertainment value but also in their reflection of the social, cultural, and religious values of the Middle Ages. Through these vivid tales of knights, battles, and encounters with the supernatural, the author invites readers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of medieval romance.
