Resumo
In The Quest for the Holy Grail, a Portuguese text of the fifteenth century, there is the presence of many female
and male characters who sometimes accept the rules of loving courtliness, sometimes violate the interdict.
Morgana, the daughter of Queen Genevra and king Hippomenes’s daugheter, for instance, are women that did
not impose limits to men, as claimed by the playful and regular ordinances of courtly love, according to the
dictates of Andrew Chaplain, but instead they broke these rules. Galvam, Morderet, Tristram, Lancelot and many
other knights are authentic violetors of the interdict. Some of these characters add to their action of breaking the
courtliness protocols the practice of violence. Artur is first in this list of sexual savagery. Considering the stated
above, this article aims to discuss how noble woman, in that ambiance of courtly love, was treated by the knights
in The Quest for the Holy Grail, especially in the episode of Arthur, the little one, son born from the rape of
King Arthur.
