 Welcome to Medieval Forum | Dinah Hazell
Marie’s lais “codify as a literary genre” and “immortalize” the storytelling tradition that forms the basis of Middle English Breton lays (Laskaya and Salisbury 1), and her Lanval and La Friene were translated and/or adapted in the fourteenth century by English poets.
Marie's audience was probably aristocratic, judging from her level of education and sophistication, as well as an oft-quoted reference to her by a fellow poet, Denis Piramus, who recounts her popularity among "counts, barons, and knights" (Mickel 15).
It is assumed that Marie used the [Tractatus] De Purgatorio Sancti Patricii, dated in the twelfth century and attributed to a Cistercian monk in the abbey at Saltrey.

 Champagne! - French Culture
France in the 1700’s was ruled by Marie Antoinette, the original “material girl.” When she wasn’t frolicking in the bucolic gardens of Versailles, she was hosting all sorts of soirees that featured fabulous food, entertainment and wine.
Perhaps it was during one of those fetes that she decided to combine her love of herself and her love of a good party and came up with the idea of casting a wax mold of her breasts.
But the tides turned for champagne when WWI began in earnest, and a German invasion into the region led to the use of the enormous caves beneath Reims being used as shelters from the bombardments of military weaponry.

 MARIE DE CHAMPAGNE AND ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
That Marie and Henry the Young king knew each other and that they were on good terms can be surmised from the fact that Marie's husban, Henri le libéral, assisted the young king and his brothers in their rebellion against their father in 1173.
Since it is generally believed that in Champagne the year changed not in January but at Easter, there is a strong probability that her visit lasted at least three months, and that the two women, both recently widowed, travelled together among Marie's courts.
In the case of Marie, we have the further evidence that her magistra, Alix de Mareuil, a nun from the convent of Saint-Pierre d'Avenay, was champenoise.

Marie was called to Poitiers to be responsible for the education and training of the youth of the court.
Marie also enlisted her poet Chretien de Troyes to produce numerous works on the subject of Arthurian tales and the laws of courtly love, and her influence can be seen in the great differences of manner and subject matter between Erec and Lancelot.

 The Enduring Popularity of Courtly Love
There was a brief return to matriarchal influence in 1181, when Count Henry of Champagne died, leaving Marie to act as regent during the minority of their sons.
While Marie's court was not as receptive to the ideals of courtly love as Eleanor's had been, courtly love's ways did survive in the literary activity of that period.
As tempting as it may be to credit Eleanor of Aquitaine and Marie de Champagne with creating and nurturing the institution of courtly love, it might be more accurate to say they merely built upon the long-standing archetypal foundation of lady love that had been denied its right to expression by the Christian church.

 Tradition at Taittinger - Sep. 18, 1998
     Champagne is exclusive to a 75,000 acre region in northeastern France.
The top champagnes are the prestige cuvees -- the peak of the crop -- followed by the vintages in which grapes from the same year are blended, and then the non-vintage bruts in which grapes and years are mixed.
     To celebrate champagne and, as Taittinger puts it, "relate the heart of making wine with the hearts of the painters," the chateau commissions contemporary artists to apply their creativity to a champagne bottle every other year [1.84M Quicktime movie].

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Marie de France
She has this trait in common with the other trouvères, that she had no biographer; at least no biography of her has come down to us, and it is mostly by inference that scholars have been able to gather the meagre information that we possess about her.
She was a native of Normandy and lived in the second half of the twelfth century, because she uses the pure Norman dialect of that time, and the two personages alluded to in her works were Henry II of England and his son William, Count of Salisbury.
Marie's contributions to French literature consist of lays, the "Ysopet", and a romance published by Roquefort under the title, "Legend of the Purgatory of Saint Patrick".
