Abstract

The Carolingian Cycle constitutes a compendium of medieval poems of diverse authorship, created in different periods, which have as their central theme the Frankish emperor Charlemagne and his family relationships, covering predecessors, uncles, nephews, among others. These narratives exerted a marked influence on French medieval culture, being conceived from the 11th century onwards. They achieved significant success in reaching the original target audience, the nobility, but, in addition, they enjoyed popularity among different social layers, surpassing geographical borders and extending to other countries on the European continent, notably Spain and Portugal.
