HOUDENC (or HOUDAN), RAOUL DE

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 808 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOUDENC (or HOUDAN), RAOUL DE , 12th-century French trouvere, takes his name from his native place, generally identified with Houdain (
Artois
 ), though there are twelve places bearing the name in one or other of its numerous variants. It has been suggested that he was a monk, but from the scattered hints in his writings it seems more probable that he followed the
trade
  of jongleur and recited his chansons, with small success apparently, in the houses of the
great
 . He was well acquainted with Paris, and probably spent a
great
 
part
  of his life there. His undoubted works are: Le Songe d'enfer, La Voie de paradis, Le Roman des eles (pr. by A.
Scheler
  in Trouveres belges, New
Series
 , 1897) and the romance of Meraugis de Portlesguez, edited by M. Michelant (1869) and by Dr M. Friedwagner (
Halle
 , 1897). Houdenc was an imitator of Chretien de
Troyes
 ; and Huon de Merl, in his Tournoi de l'antechrist (1226) praises him with Chretien in words that seem to imply that both were dead. Meraugis de Portlesguez, the hero of which perhaps derives his name from Lesguez, the port of Saint Brieuc in Brittany, is a roman d'aventures loosely attached to the Arthurian cycle.
See Gaston Paris in Hist. lift. de la France, xxx. 22o-237; W.
Zingerle
 , Uber Raoul de Houdenc and seine Werke (Erlangen, 188o); and O. Boerner, Raoul de Houdenc. Eine stilistische Untersuchung (1885).
