The Adventure of a Medieval Knight Narrated by Georges Duby
“Come with me. Let’s go on an adventure back into centuries past, between 1160 and 1220, under the reign of Philip Augustus in Northern France. It is here, at that time and in that country, to which we will now go and gather all the signs left by the knights in their passing. From that era, several scrolls have survived and have been preserved in archives. There are also some tales, real and imaginary. And it is precisely one of these texts that enables us to get to know one knight in particular. The same knight who will now be our main witness”: Georges Duby narrates the passionate life of Arnulfo di Ardres—the true hero of this story—between loves, tournaments and battles.
