Comparison between Sir Tryamour, Amis and Amiloun. Medieval romances seem particularly at risk of being misinterpreted in the way suggested, perhaps because the word 'romance' itself inevitably brings to mind the vague general term 'romance* or the adjective 'romantic*. However, the true meaning of medieval romance are adventure stories in which the main parts are played by knights, famous kings or ladies in distress, who act most often under the impulse of love, religious faith or, in many, simple desire for adventure. However, if we think in terms of medieval romance, I will limit myself to what we still call "chivalric romances", particularly in the way it is revealed in Sir Tryamour and Amis and Amiloun. Rejecting the fact that these two works of art were written with a gap of a century, they have many similar themes and motifs. Sir Tryamour was written by an unknown author at the end of the fourteenth century and one hundred years before Amis and Amiloun appeared published. The most common motifs of these two works are the betrayal of the administrators, a tournament involving the protagonists, the support of a faithful friend, the exchange of identities and family discord. Both love stories have a main character, who reunites with his family after a long separation, goes through testing his chivalric skills and asserts his honor at the end of the love story. However, in most novels there are minor characters (stewards) who try to deceive the main heroes through deception, such as Marrok in Sir Tryamour and the duke's “faithful” steward in Amis and Amiloun. Furthermore, further paragraphs of the essay will examine how these two themes are revealed. To begin with, Steward's betrayal plays a crucial role in both novels. Eva...... half of the paper...... e. Since kings consider their administrators as their right-hand men, they always believe in them, even more than their loved ones. As a result, Marrok's deception becomes the separation of the family of the lovely, friendly and silent king. The king of Arogan, unaware of the absolute truth and distrustful of his lovely wife, Margaret, accuses her and offers to send the queen into exile, Sir Roger. At this point readers may find a disunited group of Amiloun's family. When Amiloun returns from the fight, where he was in Amis' place, he confesses to his wife that he has betrayed the duke. When Belisuant finds out, she is very angry and harshly criticizes her husband, not because he dueled in Amis's place, but because he killed the administrator who she thinks was innocent: he was really handsome, yes” (1492-1494)
