These four narratives were among the most popular; all survive in multiple manuscripts and continued to circulate in prints through the sixteenth century. All were composed in the northeast Midlands in the fifty years between 1325 and 1375, and they appear together in several manuscripts. The tale the romances tell-of exiled queens, orphaned children, and penitent fathers-was one of the most prevalent medieval stories. Sometimes called the Constance\/Eustace legend (after two well-known pious versions), its influence can be seen in numerous romances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580441114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580441117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Medieval Institute Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Harriet Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485623365887,"sku":"9781580441117","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7d80512-2f90-476e-89c1-8741e1c5d813.jpg?v=1778050455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/four-middle-english-romances-harriet-hudson-9781580441117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
