than told and retold. Relation to the oral tradition Notwithstanding Millet's opinion, some aspects of the Goldemar may still be connected to an oral tradition. Goldemar, for instance, shares his name with a spirit said to haunt houses. He is attested in the work of fifteenth-century historian Person Gobelinus as Rex Goldemer. Heinzle sees this a connection between this spirit and the figure in the poem as questionable.
