Talk:The Four Sons of Aymon

Historical facts compared to the legend
I have brought the following section over from the main page. While a section on the historical background of the legendary Renaud/Aymon story would be greatly appreciated on this page (or on the Renaud de Montauban page), I fear that the following material suffers from problems of lack of references and (possible) original research. If other editors want to take a stab at re-writting it, referencing it, and incorporating material from the other wikis (the French wiki has some pertinent material), please feel free to.

Thanks. NYArtsnWords (talk) 00:11, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

The Dutch medieval writer and poet Jacob van Maerlant's Historie van den Vier Heemskinderen is as follows:
This is 100% nonsense. Jacob van M(a)erlant did not write a translation / adaption of the Old French chanson de geste 'Renaut de Montauban'. In fact he hated stories like this because they were so untrue. Willem Kuiper 21:03, 16 April 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wthjmkuiper (talk • contribs)

In Proust's Swann in Love
The narrator in Swann in Love mentions this story very early on along with of course, the more famous Genevieve de Brabant. This is probably worth mentioning in the In Other Media section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. 123453334 (talk • contribs) 12:15, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
