Abstract:
Working from Holmes' suggestion that Marie de France is Marie de Beaumont de Meulan, wife of Hugues de Talbot, I examine the importance, role and family connections of the Beaumonts and Talbots in the Normandy, England and Ireland of the second half of the XIIth century. This study agrees with the identification proposed by Holmes and asserts that the author of the "Espurgatoire" is the same as the author of the "Lais" and "Fables." It shows also that the dedicatee of the "Fables" could well be William Marshal but that the dedicatee of the "Lais" would be the young king Henry rather than his father, Henry II.
