Women studies, gender studies, queer studies have renewed the commentary of this lai of Marie de France by accentuating the role of Guildelüec in the final episodes and by questioning her sentiments for Guilliadun: compassion or love? Re-reading the lai while examining old and new judgements made on it, is to discuss the impact on this work of the fact that the author is of the female sex, to comment on the episodes where the wife of Eliduc makes her appearance, and to interpret the conjunction of a banal religious ending with a narrative where the principal protagonists are a pair of women - together with the conjunction of several manners of loving and the love of God. We propose to see in the apology of spiritual love delivered by Aelred, the abbot of Rievaulx, the clearest way to account for the conclusion of the lai.
