  41. ^ Schofield (1895), pp. 110–111, is categorically judging that "Squire Robert" is one of the "Changes introduced by Renaud" (his subheading title for this piece of analysis), and names Eugen Kölbing as being of like opinion. Max Kaluza in the opposite camp retorted that the author of LD eliminated the squire, until a need arose for someone to fulfill this role, and appropriated the steward Gifflet of the Ile d'Or to join the company, but Schofield was unconvinced of the scenario and said it lacked "justification".
  42. ^ Bel Inconnu, vv. 321–339; Blioblïeris named at v. 339.
  43. ^ Brandsma gives "two cronies".[40] but Blioblïeris companions (vv. 527–531) are three according to Fresco's index, namely Elins li Brans or Elin the Fair, Lord of Graie (vv. 527, etc.), the knight of Saie (v. 528), and Willaume de Salebrant (v. 529).

  46. ^ "Blances Mains, la Pucele as", in Old French, Fresco ed. & Donager tr. (1992) index, p. 406, glossed as "fairy mistress of Guniglain, lady of Ille d'Or. First so named at v. 1941.

  50. ^ a b Applied to Middle English LD by Price,[18] but probably more aptly applied to the French BI. Busby names Erec et Enide and other romances (not BI) as examples, but still refers to Chantilly 472 (which contains BI) as the "manuscript of recreantise".[78]

  54. ^ Hippeau ed. (1860) employs "la fée aux blanches mains" in the title, however, this does not actually occur in the text except for Hippeau's misreading "Fius es à Blances mains la fée" (son of Blanches Mains the Fay) at his v. 3211. p. 114, which is clearly an error for "Blanchemal the Fay" (Fresco ed. & Donager tr. (1992), v. 3237). And even though Schofield (1895) still uses the moniker "Fairy of the Ile d'Or" at p. 212, he notes that he needed to perform a corrigendum to "Fée Blancemal" for the hero's mother, based on Wendelin Foerster's reading (Schofield (1895), p. 52 and n1).
  55. ^ Blonde Esmeree, Le Bel Inconnu v. 3233, and after. She is glossed as "queen of Galesin the index (Fresco ed. & Donager tr. (1992), p. 406). Text: "acknowledged queen" (roïne), Snowdon (Senaudon) in vv. 3385–8. In the beginning, Blonde Esmeree is not named but referred to as "daughter of King Guingras" (v. 177) by the messenger Helie (v. 197).
