| contents | <p>This article analyses the sirventes <em>Estat aurai lonc temps en pessamen</em> by the troubadour Olivier lo Templier within the political and propagandistic context of the crusading projects promoted by King James I of Aragon. Focusing on the failed attempts to organise a crusade to the Holy Land (particularly between the mid-1260s and the early 1270s), the study examines how troubadour poetry functioned as an instrument of propaganda, capable of reshaping historical reality in order to exalt royal intentions, mobilise support, and neutralise political and diplomatic opposition. Through a close reading of Olivier’s poem, combined with an analysis of its textual tradition, metrics, and intertextual connections with other crusade songs linked to the Aragonese court, the article reassesses the chronology of the text and challenges its automatic association with the aborted expedition of 1269. The study situates the poem within a broader continuum of diplomatic initiatives, papal negotiations, internal resistance, and ideological conflicts surrounding James I’s crusading ambitions. Special attention is paid to the problematic identification of Olivier lo Templier, arguing against previous hypotheses that equate him with historically documented members of the Templar Order, and proposing instead that the name functions as a symbolic or pseudonymous designation closely tied to crusading ideology. By correlating literary evidence with archival documentation and royal chronicles, the article demonstrates how troubadour discourse contributed to the construction of an idealised political narrative that masked dissent, failure, and lack of consensus. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of medieval political communication, the relationship between literature and power, and the role of Occitan lyric poetry in shaping and disseminating crusading ideology within the Crown of Aragon.</p> |
