Engages racialization in the portrayal of a character from a 13th century French drama. The essay examines the ways in which skin pigmentation and other somatic markers were coded to prompt audience responses, and in this way argues against some attitudes in contemporary medieval history which assume racialization is a modern phenomenon. Takes part in discussions about French literature, embodiment, and the history of art.
