Lenda De Gaia
The ''Lenda de Gaia'' (Legend of Gaia) is a medieval Portuguese legend recorded in two manuscripts, the '' Livro Velho'' (1286/1290) and the '' Livro de Linhagens do Conde Dom Pedro'' (1340/1383), both of which are collections of aristocratic genealogies embellished with a mix of history and legend. The ''Lenda de Gaia'' concerns the tenth-century king Ramiro II of León and the origins of the Maia family. The main events take place in Gaia at the mouth of the river Douro. The ''Lenda de Gaia'' is generally seen as part of a literary tradition common to the Iberian peninsula, France and Germany inspired by the Biblical story of the marriage King Solomon and the pharaoh's daughter. It has many tropes common to folk tales, including the adulterous wife who hides her husband to meet her lover, the king who goes undercover as a beggar and the summoning of help by means of a hunting horn. Although it is not overtly political, it sends the clear message that illicit interfaith sexual li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The English And Scottish Popular Ballads
The Child Ballads are 305 traditional ballads from England and Scotland, and their American variants, anthologized by Francis James Child during the second half of the 19th century. Their lyrics and Child's studies of them were published as ''The English and Scottish Popular Ballads''. The tunes of most of the ballads were collected and published by Bertrand Harris Bronson in and around the 1960s. History Age and source of the ballads The ballads vary in age; for instance, the manuscript of "Judas" dates to the thirteenth century and a version of " A Gest of Robyn Hode" was printed in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. The majority of the ballads, however, date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although some are claimed to have very ancient influences, only a handful can be definitively traced to before 1600. Moreover, few of the tunes collected are as old as the words. Nevertheless, Child's collection was far more comprehensive than any previous coll ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ballad
A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music. Ballads derive from the medieval French ''chanson balladée'' or ''ballade'', which were originally "dance songs". Ballads were particularly characteristic of the popular poetry and song of Britain and Ireland from the Late Middle Ages until the 19th century. They were widely used across Europe, and later in Australia, North Africa, North America and South America. Ballads are often 13 lines with an ABABBCBC form, consisting of couplets (two lines) of rhymed verse, each of 14 syllables. Another common form is ABAB or ABCB repeated, in alternating eight and six syllable lines. Many ballads were written and sold as single sheet broadsides. The form was often used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century, the term took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and is often used for any love song, particularly the sentimental ballad of pop or roc ...

Aboazar Lovesendes
Aboazar Lovesendes (died after 978) was a lord (''domno'') in the County of Portugal in the Kingdom of León in the middle decades of the tenth century. He is the ancestor of the lords of Maia.{{sfn, Almeida Fernandes, 2001, pp=77–79 Aboazar's parentage is the subject of a traditional heroic tale, the '' Miragaia''.{{Sfn, Mattoso, 1981, p=206 The legend makes him progeny of the romantic liaison between Ramiro II of León and Ortiga/Artiga, the beautiful sister of a powerful local Muslim lord, Alboaçar Abençadan Çada, a great-grandson of 'king Abdullah'. Depending on the version of the legend, this was either in revenge for, or provided the motivation for, a parallel liaison between Abençadan and Ramiro's wife, Aldora, for which Ramiro murders his wife and marries Ortiga, having a son Aboazar. This tale is at odds with the known marital history of Ramiro, as well as with the patronymic of the Portuguese lord. Though sources derived from the ''Miragaia'' call him Aboazar Ram ...
