Gloriant

Gloriant is a Middle Dutch drama. It is one of the four abele spelen that are contained in the Hulthemse handschrift and consists of 1142 lines in rhyme.

The other abele spelen are Esmoreit, Lanseloet van Denemerken and Vanden Winter ende vanden Somer.

The play is named after the masculine leading character Gloriant, duke of Bruuyswijc. It deals with the love between two people of different religion and is followed by the sotternie, the farce Buskenblaser.

One of its sources is the 14th-century chanson de geste Baudouin de Sebourc.
