Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ruggiero (often translated Rogero in English) is a leading character in the Italian romantic epics Orlando innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. Ruggiero had originally appeared in the twelfth-century French epic, Aspremont, reworked by Andrea da Barberino as the chivalric romance Aspramonte. In Boiardo and Ariosto''s works, he is supposed to be the ancestor of Boiardo and Ariosto''s patrons, the Este family of Ferrara, and he plays a major role in the two poems. He is the son of a Christian knight (Ruggiero II of Reggio Calabria, a descendant of Astyanax, son of Hector) and a Saracen lady (Galaciella, daughter of Agolant, king of Africa). When Ruggiero''s father is betrayed, his mother is set adrift in a boat and dies giving birth. Ruggerio is raised since infancy by the wizard Atlante in Africa as a Saracen warrior(in Ariosto, Marfisa is Ruggiero''s twin sister).
