HUON OF See also:BORDEAUX , See also:hero of See also:romance. The See also:French chanson de geste of Huon de Bordeaux See also:dates from the first See also:half of the 13th See also:century, and marks the transition between the epic chanson founded on See also:national See also:history and the See also:roman d'aventures. Huon, son of Seguin of Bordeaux, kills Charlot, the See also:emperor's son, who had laid an See also:ambush for him, without being aware of the See also:rank of his assailant. He is condemned to be hanged by See also:Charlemagne, but reprieved on See also:condition that he visits the See also:court of Gaudisse, the See also:amir of See also:Babylon, and brings back a handful of See also:hair from the amir's See also:- BEARD (A.S. beard, O. H. and Mod. Ger. Bart, Dan. beard, Icel. bar, rim, edge, beak of a ship, &c., O. Slay. barda, Russ. barodd. Cf. Welsh barf, Lat.. barba, though, according to the New English Dictionary, the connexion is for phonetic reasons doubtful)

beard and four of his back See also:teeth, after having slain the greatest of his knights and three times kissed his daughter Esclarmonde. By the help of the See also:fairy See also:dwarf See also:Oberon, Huon succeeds in this errand, in the course of which he meets with further adventures. The See also:Chariot of the See also:story has been identified by A. Longnon (Romania viii. 1-11) with See also:Charles 1'Enfant, one of the sons of Charles the Bald and Irmintrude, who died in 866 in consequence of wounds inflicted by a certain Aubouin in precisely similar circumstances to those related in the romance. The epic See also:father of Huon may safely be identified with Seguin, who was See also:count of Bordeaux under See also:- LOUIS

- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis the Pious in 839, and diedfighting against the See also:Normans six years later. A See also:Turin See also:manuscript of the romance contains a See also:prologue in the shape of a See also:separate romance of Auberon, and four sequels, the Chanson d'Esclarmonde, the Chanson de Clarisse et Florent, the Chanson d'Ide et d'See also:Olive and the Chanson de See also:Godin. The same MS. contains in the romance of See also:Les Lorrains a See also:summary in seventeen lines of another version of the story, according to which Huon's See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile is due to his having slain a count in the emperor's See also:palace. The poem exists in a later version in alexandrines, and, with its continuations, was put into See also:prose in 1454 and printed by See also:Michel le Noir in 1516, since when it has appeared in many forms, notably in a beautifully printed and illustrated See also:adaptation (1898) in See also:modern French by Gaston See also:Paris. The romance had a See also:great See also:vogue in See also:England through the See also:translation (c. 1540) of See also:John See also:Bourchier, See also:Lord See also:Berners, as Huon of Burdeuxe. The See also:tale was dramatized and produced in Paris by the Confrerie de la See also:Passion in 1557, and in See also:- PHILIP
