At the heart of Wolfram von Eschenbachs Willehalm are Saracens: instrumental figures in the driving themes of conquest, loyalty, vassalage, chivalry, loveservice and redemption that run through the text. When compared with Wolframs French sources, La Prise dOrange and Aliscans, Willehalm is revealed to be innovative yet true to the themes and figures of the original chansons de geste, indicating that Wolfram continued the retelling process that also played a part in the composition of his French sources.This book explores the role of Saracens in these texts, the implications of their conversion to Christianity and the portrayal of the ideals of chivalry as their depiction undergoes development from twelfthcentury France to thirteenthcentury Germany. The text begins with the culturalhistorical setting and the development of key ideals and concepts and then analyses the Saracen figures in the texts, presenting an integrated reading of Willehalm and its source material and revealing Wolframs intentions in his depiction of Saracens.
