CHORA, Ana Margarida. Os cavaleiros do Graal e o anti-heroísmo hagiográfico. Medievalista [online]. 2012, n.12, pp.264-292. Epub 31-Dez-2012. ISSN 1646-740X. https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.698.
Medieval Arthurian heroes who, in the Vulgate and Post-Vulgate texts, are destined to the Grail adventure (Lancelot, Boorz, Perceval and Galaad) follow a very similar pathway to those of saints narratives of the same period, which goes through predestination and change of behaviour, from a certain moment, taking them to spiritual life. But if, on the one hand, their heroic characteristics determine the specificity of their ascetic evolution; on the other, hagiographic pathways in medieval narratives have forms that touch anti-heroism.
