ADENES (ADENEZ or ADANS)  , surnamed LE ROI, See also:French trouvare, was See also:born in See also:Brabant about 1240 . He owed his See also:education to the kindness of See also:Henry III.; See also:duke of Brabant, and he remained in favour at See also:court for some See also:time after the See also:death (1261) of his See also:patron . In 1269 he entered the service of See also:Guy de Dampierre, afterwards See also:count of See also:Flanders, probably as roi See also:des menestrels, and followed him in the next See also:year on the abortive crusade in See also:Tunis in which See also:Louis IX. lost his See also:life . The expedition returned by way of See also:Sicily and See also:Italy, and See also:Adenes has See also:left in his poems some very exact descriptions of the places through which he passed . The purity of his French and the See also:absence of provincial-isms point to a See also:long See also:residence in See also:France, and it has been suggested that Adenes may have followed See also:Mary of Brabant thither on her See also:marriage with See also:Philip the Bold . He seems, however, to have remained in the service of Count Guy, although he made frequent visits to See also:Paris to consult the See also:annals preserved in the See also:abbey of St See also:Denis . The poems written by Adenes are four: the Enfances Ogier, an enfeebled version of the Chevalerie Ogier de Danemarche written by Raimbert de Paris at the beginning of the See also:century; Berle aus granspies, the See also:history of the See also:mother of See also:Charlemagne, founded on well-known traditions which are also preserved in the See also:anonymous Chronique de France, and in the Chronique rime of Philippe Mousket; Bueves de Comarchis, belonging to the See also:cycle of See also:romance gathered See also:round the history of Aimeri de See also:Narbonne; and a long See also:roman d'aventures, Cleomades, borrowed from See also:Spanish and Moorish traditions brought into France by See also:Blanche, daughter of Louis IX., who after the death of her Spanish See also:husband returned to the French court . Adenes probably died before the end of the 13th century . The romances of Adenes were edited for the Academie Imperiale et Royale of See also:Brussels by A . See also:Scheler and A. See also:van See also:Hasselt in 1874; Berle was rendel-ed into See also:modern French by G . Hecq (1897) and by R . Perie(1900) ; Cleomades, by Le See also:Chevalier de See also:Chatelain (1859) .
