Popis: The Libro de Apolonio, a Castilian poem from the first half of the 13th century, makes it possible to analyze the norm of the family, both in relation to marriage, filiation and kinship ties, as well as in terms of the same domestic space shared by kings, their families and their subjects. The description of the Antioquia and Pentapolis courts leads to highlighting the importance of family relations as a measure of personal and political behavior, through the theme of incest and identity between private and public behaviors, especially in the figure of the Kings. The matrimonial problem focuses on the hero Apolonio, in principle, and then on his daughter Tarsiana in the second part of the story, and is based on the Christian ethical character of the central family conception in the poem.
