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.
