シャルル王が栄華を極めていたころ。: ドルドーニュにハイモン伯爵がいた。名門の勇敢な騎士。多くの人から敬意をうけていた。が、あることから陛下の不興をかい領地を取り上げられ、願いが聞きとどけられることはなかった。 するとハイモンは兵を起こし、至る所で強奪や殺戮。と忽ち、各地の村は荒廃し、修道院まで略奪されるありさま。死骸が街道に累々と。
こんな凄まじい勢いで国土はやがて荒廃。 これに機嫌を損じた王。やがて友好的な使者を送り込む。が、今や優位に立つハイモン伯は和議を受け入れず。
だが、シャルル王が再度、使者を派遣。:和解に応じれば妹のアーヤを嫁がせてもいいと。ハイモン伯は竟に、折れ、和議が結ばれた。
Tieck : Die Geschichte von der vier Heymons-Kinder
やがて、アーヤとの間に四人の息子を授かる。生長すると彼らは広間に集められ騎士に叙せられる。 四人の息子のうち 末息子のライノルト。いちばん大きく 、いちばん強きものにて、黄金の拍車を靴につけ、意気軒高と闊歩し父の前に進み出る。 すると、ハイモン伯は いちばん見事な駿馬を授ける。その名はバイヤール。 黒く艶やかに、並の馬20頭分の強き馬。 駿馬を授けられたライノルトは、格闘ののち、見事に手懐ける。 かくてのち ハイモン伯は息子たちを連れパリに向かう。 久し振りに シャルル王の歓待を受けんがため。 ところが・・・ >>* *** >>> --
*ハイモンの名はドイツの戦後閨秀詩人ランゲッサー詩にも取り入れられている。: さて、それではハイモンとは、・・
* ハイモン伯とは、中世ヨーロッパの伝説に登場する架空の貴族で、特にフランスの叙事詩「四人の息子」において重要な役割を果たしている。 この物語では、ハイモン伯はシャルル王との和平を結び、王の妹アーヤと結婚するが、後に王に対する復讐を誓う。すると 四人の息子たちは、父の名誉を守るために数々の冒険を繰り広げるのである。。。
ランゲッサーの詩におけるハイモン伯の言及は、彼女の作品における神話的な要素を取り入れた詩的表現の一例で、自然との深いつながりや宗教的なテーマを探求し、ナチス時代の苦難を経て 戦後のキリスト教文学の可能性を追求する作品を多く残した。。。
ハイモン伯の物語は、中世の騎士道物語や叙事詩の中で繰り返し語られ、様々なバリエーションが存在し、忠誠、名誉、家族、そして復讐といったテーマを通じて、人間の葛藤や価値観を描き出している。
ランゲッサーの詩の中でハイモン伯がどのように描かれているかは、詩の解釈を深める鍵となる。彼女の作品は、個人的な経験と深い信仰に根ざしており、時代を超えて人間の内面と外界との関係を探るものとして、今でも評価され、ハイモン伯の物語は、ランゲッサーの詩の中でどのような象徴的な意味を持つのか、それは読者の解釈に委ねられているといえよう。。。>>・
