Resumo

espanolEn la version de la leyenda de del Carpio incluida en la Estoria de Espana los cronistas se refieren varias veces a 'cantares' y 'estorias' del heroe, hoy desconocidos. El presente articulo examina posibles vestigios de tales fuentes en tres episodios del Bernardo alfonsi, considera la influencia de otras leyendas epicas castellanas en el relato de la Estoria de Espana, y estudia la manera en que los cronistas refundieron las fuentes citadas al componer su version de la leyenda de Bernardo. EnglishOn numerous occasions throughout the Estoria de Espana’s account of the legend of del Carpio, the chroniclers reference now-unknown 'cantares' and 'estorias' about the hero. The present article examines possible traces of such sources in three specific episodes of the Alfonsine Bernardo, considers the influence of other Castilian epic legends on the retelling, and addresses the manner in which the chroniclers reworked their source material as they composed their version of Bernardo’s legend.
