Is Marie de France’s portrayal of men similar to the warrior men in Gregory’s “The History of the Franks”? How do men function in these authors’ texts? How is  ideal masculinity viewed by female characters and by the authors?  What about men’s status ? Using Marie and Gregory, write a thesis – based essay in which you  compare or contrast the  authors’ views on the role of men. Take account of the most plausible counter-argument to the thesis. Only use sources from The History of the Franks and Marie de France’s Lais. One thesis and three topics would be great.
