Part travelogue and part literary discussion about the legends of Charlemagne and the lasting cultural impact of these classic tales.

About this event

For several centuries, troubadours and jongleurs in Southern France and Northern Italy created a cycle of legends regarding Charlemagne and his paladins. The most famous of these legends is the Chanson de Roland. The legends were written in both French and Italian, although ironically what is called the “Matters of France,” are more widely known today in Italy than they are in France.

Linda C. McCabe read the classic epic poem Orlando furioso and became captivated by a rich narrative tapestry involving chivalry, honor, pride, secret romances, magic and heroism. McCabe adapted these legends into a series of novels for modern day audiences. She performed extensive research into Charlemagne, the Medieval period’s customs and foods, as well as religious practices of the time for both Christians and Muslims. Her research included twice traveling to France.

Her presentation will be part travelogue and part literary discussion about the legends of Charlemagne and the lasting cultural impact of these classic tales.

A Zoom link will be sent 48 hours before the presentation.

Author of Quest of the Warrior Maiden, and Fate of the Saracen Knight available in both ebook and trade paperback
