| Abstract | There are a lot of very different figures of Medieval Literatures who are fascinating still nowadays. On the one hand the bright, rich, and wellminded rulers appear in literature, painting and other areas of cultures as ideal rulers. On the other hand bad human figures as 'Black Knights' and witches or biests play an important role in various genres of novels, children's literature and also in fine art. The paper of this session will demonstrate that those phenomena can be found in various countries and cultures. |
