Chansons de geste
Old French epic poetry, averaging about 3900 lines, in ten-syllable verse. They glorified the Franks, the Christian religion, and a few of the famous Carolingian knights . Thought much of the subject matter was legendary, they were extraordinarily popular; many believed them to be historical. They remained powerful testaments to the ingenuity and sincerity.
