Abstract

This article analyses the presence of chivalric fiction in Luis Milán's El cortesano (1561). In the first part of the article, a historical and cultural approach to the work is made and the link between chivalric fiction and the environment of Spanish Renaissance literature, and specifically, that produced in the Valencian viceregal court, is explained. The second part consists of an analysis of the so-called Adventure of Mount Ida, and the reasons why we consider this episode to be a direct heir to chivalric fiction are set out.
