GUILLAUME DE PALERME (WILLIAM of PALERNE)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 692 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUILLAUME DE PALERME (WILLIAM of PALERNE) , hero of romance. The French verse romance was written at the desire of a Countess Yolande, generally identified with Yolande, daughter of Baldwin IV.,
count
  of Flanders. The English poem in alliterative verse was written about 1350 by a poet called William, at the desire of
Humphrey
 
Bohun
 ,
earl
  of
Hereford
 , (d. 1361). Guillaume, a foundling supposed to be of low degree, is brought up at the court of the emperor of Rome, and loves his daughter Melior who is destined for a Greek prince. The lovers flee into the woods disguised in
bear
 -skins. Alfonso, who is Guillaume's
cousin
  and a Spanish prince, has been changed into a wolf by his step-mother's enchantments. He provides food and protection for the fugitives, and Guillaume eventually triumphs over Alfonso's father, and wins back from him his kingdom. The benevolent werwolf is disenchanted, and marries Guillaume's
sister
 .

  No. 1, 1867) ; M. Kaluza, in Eng. Studien (Heilbronn, iv. 196). The
prose
  version of the French romance, printed by N. Bonfons, passed through several editions.
