Hagiography
Hagiography is the posthumous narration of events from the lives of saints and martyrs. According to The Online Reference Book for Medieval Christianity, this genre generally focuses on male saints as females were believed to be less likely to practice the saintly virtues ; however, in this poem we see the princess unusually portrayed as a saint and the protagonist when she protects the knights and subjects from a brutal slaughter at the hands of a non Christian sultan.
