published 1513 under the full title: La coronica (sic.) de los nobles caualleros Tablante de Ricamonte y de Jofre hijo del conde Donason). It proved popular and underwent a number of reprints in chapbook format into the 19th century. The Spanish prose was in turn translated into Tagalog verse in the Philippines. Material from the Spanish version was also incorporated into Portuguese chapbooks of the 18th century, compiled by António da Silva. Taulat de Rougemont The cruel knight Taulat de Rougemont also appears (as Talac de Rougemont) in the Romanz du reis Yder. Another feature in common between the two romances is the motif of a blow to the stomach associated with a queen: in the Yder this takes the form of a kick delivered to rebuff the (apparently) amorous advances of a queen (the wife of King Ivenant) in the context of a chastity test, while (as noted above) in Jaufre, the blow is the (unexplained) stabbing of a knight (by Taulat) in the presence of Queen Guinevere. Under the name Tablante de Ricamonte it is Taulat (and not Jofre) who is given the role of eponymous protagonist in the Spanish prose version of Jaufre. Some light may be cast on the antecedents of Talac/Taulat by the fact that, in Yder it is at Rougemont that Yder finally encounters his father, Nuc, for whom he has been searching from the outset, in an effort to remedy his bastardy (and in which endeavour he is finally successful). The character of Yder is derived from a Welsh deity, Yder being derived from Edern ap Nudd.
