Abstract

This work analyses genealogy as a structuring principle for Castilian romances of chivalry and their variations. For this, the categories of analysis proposed by Howard Bloch are used in order to review the implications of genealogy for the poetics of the genre, with respect to the Arthurian models and the Zifar. In particular, this text studies the initial paradigm of the genre: the works of Rodríguez de Montalvo and the beginning of the Palmerín cycle; as well as the first Amadisian sequels, paying special attention to the changes that emerged in Feliciano de Silva’s Amadís de Grecia.
