AVILDA, UNA PRINCESA GODA ANTE EL ESPEJO

Abstract

An invitation to explore in the different existent sources with the objective of getting close to the mediaeval women reality. Studying the behaviour of Avilda, a literary personage of the Gesta Danorum by Saxo Gramático, who represents a series of moral values habitually embodied for men. An immersion in the ideology of the Scandinavian thought, in some of the aspects of their religion from the perspective of history of religions and the capacity of escaping of the web of stereotypes fixed by clerical culture. A reflexion on the own historian work that, in the case of the Middle Ages, it tends to reproduce the sketches of thought own of the clerical culture, in front of other brand perspectives.
