RAOUL DE See also:CAMBRAI , the name of a See also:French chanson de geste. The existing See also:romance is a 13th-See also:century recension of a poem by a See also:trouvere of See also:Laon called Bertholais, who professed to have witnessed the events he described. It presents, like the other provincial geste of Garin le Loherain, a picture of the devastation caused by the private See also:wars of the feudal chiefs. A parallel narrative, obviously inspired by popular See also:poetry, is preserved in the See also:chronicle of Waulsort (ed. Achery, Spicilegium, ii. p. roo seq.), and probably corresponds with the earlier recension.

Louis (d'Outre-Mer), whose See also:father's lands had been given to another, demanded the See also:fief of See also:Vermandois, which was the natural See also:inheritance of the four sons of See also:Herbert, See also:lord of Vermandois. On King Louis's refusal, he proceeded to See also:war. The See also:chief See also:hero on the Vermandois See also:side was Bernier, a See also:grandson of Count Herbert, who had been the See also:squire and See also:firm adherent of Raoul, until he was driven into opposition by the See also:fate of his See also:mother, burned with the nuns in the See also:- CHURCH

church of Origny. Bernier eventually slew the terrible Raoul in single fight, but in his turn was slain, after an apparent reconciliation, and the See also:blood-See also:feud descended to his sons. The date of these events is exactly ascertainable. See also:Flodoard (Annales, See also:Anno 943) states that Count Herbert died in that See also:year, and was buried by his sons at St Quentin, that when they learnt that Raoul, son of Raoul de Gouy, was about to invade their father's territory, they attacked him and put him to See also:death. The identity of other of the personages of the See also:story has also been fixed from See also:historical See also:sources. The second See also:part of the poem, of which Bernier is the hero, is of later date, and bears the See also:character of a See also:roman d'aventures.
