MACAIRE,
(Le Chevalier Rich ard), a French chanson de geste of the 12th cen tury, and one of the great poems of the Middle Ages, the theme of which is the false accusa tion brought against the queen of Charlemagne, called Blanchefleur. Macaire is a fusion of two legends: that of the unjustly repudiated wife, and that of the dog that detects the murderer of his master. Macaire, a French knight, aided by Lieutenant Landry, murdered Aubry de Montdidier (q.v.) in the forest of Bondy. Mont didier's dog, named Dragon, showed such aver sion to Macaire that suspicion was aroused and Macaire and the dog were summoned to a single combat. The result was fatal to Macaire, who died, confessing his guilt. Dragon was called the Chien de Montargu because the mur der took place near the castle of Montargis. The encounter was depicted over the chimney of the great hall in the castle in the 15th cen tury. Macaire is only preserved in the Franco Venetian geste of Charlemagne (Bibl. St. Mark MSS. XIII), in a mixed form of French and Venetian dialects. It has been reprinted several times. Consult
