Chivalry, the Mediterranean, and the Crown of Aragon constitute the threefold axis of this collection of essays. The three are at the forefront of a real struggle among civilizations that took place around the borderland surrounding the Mediterranean in the late Middle Ages, namely in the Iberian and Italian peninsulas and the Balkans. In fact, it could be said that the late medieval Mediterranean came to be defined precisely because of this struggle. Chivalry thrived in its milieu both in real and fictional terms amidst conquering kingdoms, ethical chevaliers and knight kings that helped shape the identity of the Catalan-speaking territories. This collection of articles includes the work of: Antonio Cortijo Ocaña, Abel Soler, Vicent Martines, Montserrat Piera, Gabriel Ensenyat Pujol, Ferran Garcia-Oliver, Òscar O. Santos-Sopena, Joan Molina Figueras, Vicent Josep Escartí, and Veronica Orazi. This book is number 14 in Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs' Medieval Literature Studies Series.
