Since Boiardo was writing for a court that loved reading the Italian romances for delight, he decided to take the themes of his humanist education and to slip them into his stories, so that the dukes would be learning while they were being entertained.
Boiardo invented the characters Bradamante and Rugiero as the founders of the Estense dynasty as a tribute to the poem's dedicatee, the Duke Ercole d'Este.

  Matteo Maria Boiardo Summary
Boiardo married Taddea dei Conti Gonzaga di Novellera in 1479.
Boiardo's poem, which reflects the interests of the court of Ferrara, tells a series of wonderful tales revolving about Roland's love for Angelica, Angelica's love for Rinaldo, and the pagan Ruggero's love for Bradamante (Ruggero was to be the mythical founder of the house of Este).
Boiardo intended to ennoble his popular source material by achieving a fusion of modern and classical poetry, but the language of his poem, rich in dialectal forms, was foreign to the refined tastes of the Renaissance.
