Este trabajo analiza algunos de los principales textos jurídicos que regulan el enjuiciamiento y castigo de los crímenes más graves en el derecho medieval inglés y su plasmación en la obra literaria de Geoffrey Chaucer. Se estudian también algunos rasgos fundamentales del marco jurídico de estos crímenes entre los siglos xii y xiv; se ejemplifican las especialidades procesales de estos delitos mediante el análisis del juicio y ejecución de Hugh Le Despenser (1286-1326); y se explora el tema de la violación desde la perspectiva que ofrecen la vida y obra de Geoffrey Chaucer, con especial atención a Los cuentos de Canterbury. Este autor presenta en su obra un nuevo contexto en el que se avanza notablemente en la clarificación conceptual, terminológica y tipológica de la violación como crimen horrendo, merecedor de la pena de muerte.

El presente trabajo analiza el fenómeno de la concesión de licencias de armas por parte de la monarquía castellana durante los últimos años del siglo xv, atendiendo a las motivaciones esgrimidas por los solicitantes, a las condiciones que se consideraban para su obtención y a su vínculo con la conformación de grupos armados y con el papel del sistema judicial. En virtud de ello, las 345 licencias de armas concedidas por el Consejo Real de Castilla que son objeto de estudio permiten aproximarnos a problemáticas como la de la criminalidad y el uso de las armas, los mecanismos establecidos de regulación de los conflictos sociales y los límites de la justicia. Los salvoconductos para transitar con cascos, broqueles, puñales o espadas nos sitúan en un escenario social apasionante, en el que convivían las presiones vecinales –la necesidad de mantener la fama; la honra en el ejercicio del derecho a la venganza–, las ansias de riqueza y la desesperación por sobrevivir.

This article goes through some of the coincidences between the classical literary tradition and the Galician-Portuguese lyric, which provide sometimes a new signification to the Greco-Roman mythical tradition. In this sense, certain classical myths are reworked from a moral perspective. Additionally, the resource to erotic topics from the Greco-Roman tradition in the Galician-Portuguese love lyric is exemplified, such as the love at first sight, the madness of love, the judgment loss, the evasive lover, irrisor amoris and servitium amoris

The main focus of this essay is the study of the image of the mirror in the works of religious women from the 13th and 14th centuries (Mechthild von Magdeburg, Hadewijch van Brabant and Marguerite Porete), especially regarding the Platonic tradition which links this image with the soul. I will examine fragments of their literary work in order to discuss some physiological, anthropological and theological preconceptions implied in the use of the mirror-image, especially those developments concerning self-knowledge and deification (theosis). Additionally, I analyze the relationships between the mirror and the “mystique courtoise,” particularly with the theme of the Fountain of Narcissus

This paper analyses all major appearances of the myth of Siegfried, from the earliest AngloSaxon texts, through the great narratives of the high Middle Ages, to its modern use by 19th century nationalism. The review allows not only to verify the logic of adaptation according to the intention of each of the texts, but also to make a history of the use of the legend which reveals, on the one hand, the ideological constant in the appropriation of the story and, on the other hand, how the legend of Siegfried is the last survivor of a type of heroic tale, that of the hero-king, which begins to be replaced in the the literature of the high Middle Ages.

This paper dismantles thanks to cartography three myths commonly associated with the Middle Ages: the idea that the Earth was flat, that Jerusalem was in the center of the world, and that dragons inhabited its margins. The visual richness that medieval maps boast presents a more complex world than the one we have invented for it. As it is well known, appearances can be deceiving. The lack of scientific projection and the importance of religious symbolism must be overcome to discover the world of the Middle Ages.
