Abstract

The possibilities of historiographic treatment of narratives, with emphasis in methodologies developed in the field of Semiotic and Linguistic, have deserved the interests of a significant section of the Historiography in the last decades. In this article, there will be examined some Portuguese medieval narratives which appears in the Linage Books from the century XIII, in order to identify the principal aspects from a Knight’s Imaginary that was essential for the formation of the aristocratic identity. Among other points, they are examined the intertextualities present in the set of narratives that integrate part of the linage books, concomitantly with the genealogical descriptions. They are investigated, in the second part of the essay, the influence of the ethics in the aristotelian ethics in the knight’s pattern that is defined preponderantly in the aristocratic narratives
