The issue of chivalry regained relevance in the 1820s. After tracing the ideological fractures this fashion contained, which shed light on Mérimée’s choices in La Jaquerie (1828), we show that the latter is at once opposed to the troubadour genre and the recuperation of “chivalry” as opposed to “feudalism.” It is a subversive work, a caricature of all the dimensions of the chivalric ideal: genealogy, heroism, courtliness, and language.
