词条 | Ambrose d'Évreux |
释义 | Ambrose d'Évreux French poet flourished c. 1190 Norman poet and chronicler, who accompanied Richard I of England as a minstrel on the Third Crusade. Nothing more is known of him than that he was probably a native of Évreux and was a noncombatant making the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His account of the Crusade is preserved in the Estoire de la guerre sainte (“History of the Holy War”), a poem of over 12,000 lines extant in an Anglo-Norman manuscript, but the Estoire is only an adaptation of Ambrose's work. The original poem was used by Richard, a canon of Holy Trinity, London, as the source for his Itinerarium Regis Ricardi (“Concerning the Expedition of King Richard”). The Estoire has little literary merit, but it is a valuable historical source. |
