| Summary | "La terrible et merveilleuse vie de Robert le Diable" by Anonymous is a medieval narrative that likely dates from the late 15th century. This fictional work revolves around the character of Robert, who is initially depicted as a malevolent figure born under tragic circumstances, with his mother controversially vowing to surrender him to the devil at his conception. The story traces his tumultuous journey from a life of crime and wickedness to one of penitence and transformation. The beginning of this narrative introduces Robert's origins, detailing the noble Duke Hubert of Normandy who desires to have children but finds himself unable to conceive with his wife. In a fit of desperation and anger after a hunting trip, the Duke inadvertently causes his wife to pledge her unborn child to the devil. Following Robert's birth, he exhibits violent and cruel behavior, leading to tragic consequences and eventually the deaths of many. The opening chapters set the stage for Robert's eventual journey of repentance, hinting at themes of sin, redemption, and the struggle between good and evil.
