Much can be read in the Hungarian chronicle versions and Latin legends about the figure of King St Ladislas (reigned 1077–1095, canonized 1192), the most popular saint in Hungary by the middle of the fourteenth century. These sources are all enlarged and interpolated representation of the elements of the surviving nomad traditions, the chivalric ideas of the Hungarian royal court, elements of the French crusader traditions of the Angevin court, the memory of the struggle against the Mongols in 1241–42. This paper focuses on some of these motifs, like becoming a fictive leader of the First crusade, and a fictive successor to the imperial throne. The paper confronts the textual differences between the legends and the chronicles and tries to answer the question why the hagiographic and liturgical texts neglect his fights against the heathen.

The study presents the Arthurian novel Tandariáš a Floribella from the end of the 14th century as an independent historical source, and indicates some possible routes to approach it from the perspective of historical-literary anthropology. It deals with the interpretation of those passages in which the anonymous poet in keeping with the tradition of German and French courtly novels thematised forgetting oneself, reflection and the epistemological importance of passivity or pain of the protagonist – the knight. The author interprets them as a means of the refinement and cultivation of the audience. He shows that the novel did not lead the noble audience to an internalized Christian conversion or moral improvement. Under the guise of entertainment, it rather encouraged them to think and to discuss the basic rules, organization and values of courtly society.
