abstract:
[FR] Convention littéraire et réalité historique : la Cour du prince dans la poésie galloise des XIIe-XIIIe s.
Dès les origines la poésie galloise s’est attachée à décrire la cour du seigneur. Les descriptions du cérémonial de la cour étaient déjà devenues un lieu-commun dans la poésie des bardes professionnels à l’époque des poèmes du Gododdin, au VIe s. Ce rapport analyse surtout la poésie des Gogynfeirdd, des XIIe et XIIIe s., qui ont été appelés les «poètes de cour des princes gallois». Ils utilisent les mêmes «topoi» pour décrire la vie de cour. Les poètes mentionnent aussi des lieux particuliers : certains de ces lieux, comme Aberffraw et Cemais, ont une importance particulière dans l’histoire politique de la période. Après avoir caractérisé le Llys (la «cour») en utilisant les textes de lois, les données archéologiques et les documents historiques, l’auteur traite de quelques questions particulières, comme les poèmes dédiés aux officiers de cour, et les poèmes confirmant les documents légaux.

[EN] Welsh poetry from its earliest days has focussed on the court of the ruler. Descriptions of court celebration had already become a topos of the poetry of the official bards by the time of the Gododdin stanzas of the sixth century. This paper mainly analyzes the poetry of the Gogynfeirdd of the 12th and 13th centuries, which have been referred to as ‘The Court Poets of the Welsh Princes’. They use the same topoi to describe court life. The poets also refer to specific places. The names of some of these, such as Aberffraw and Cemais, have a significance in contemporary politics. After characterizing the llys (court) with the help of the Lawtexts, archaeological data and historical documents, the author deals with some particular questions, such as poems dedicated to court officials, or poems corroborating the legal documents.
