Les deux Alpais et les toponymes épiques (Avroy-)Auridon-Oridon-Dordon(e)
The two Alpaidas and epic place-names (Avroy-)Auridon-Oridon-Dordon(e). Contrary to what some scholars have recently tried to demonstrate, the beautiful episode about Alpaida in the 12th Century Girart de Roussillon has no genetic link either to a story about elves or to German mythology.

| description |
The two Alpaidas and epic place-names (Avroy-)Auridon-Oridon-Dordon(e).
Contrary to what some scholars have recently tried to demonstrate, the beautiful
episode about Alpaida in the 12th Century Girart de Roussillon has no genetic link either
to a story about elves or to German mythology. As background, the episode follows
the narrative storyline of the beautiful jailer in love with her prisoner (substantiated
at least twice in 12th Century French-speaking circles before the Girart) whereas, for
its proper names and certain related motifs, it was inspired by the legend of Alpaida,
mother of Charles Martel (as this legend appeared in the 12th Century). In favor of
this latter relationship, one should note the etymological identity, hitherto unrecognized, between Avridum “Avroy-près-Liège”, home of Alpaida, mother of Charles
Martel, and (Auridum>) Auridon, the imaginary home in the Ardennes of the Girart
Alpaida. Oridon in the song of Auberi le Bourguignon and, probably, Dordon(e) in the
Quatre Fils Aymon, both names of imaginary castles in the Ardennes, are derived
from the same place-name. |
