Abstract

In the present article, after an excursus on the presence of the virgo-bellatrix motif in Spanish folkloric fiction and romances of chivalry, its fortune is studied in two modern rewritings of chivalric material: El rapto del Santo Grial by Paloma Díaz-Mas and in Historia del rey Transparente by Rosa Montero.
