Intertextuality, interpretation and contextualization of 'escarnios' V1003 and B1559

The “cantigas de escarnio” Ũa dona foi de pran (V1003), by Gonçal’Eanes do Vinhal, e Ja lhi nunca pedirán (B1559), by Afonso Mendez de Besteiros are characterized by having metrical, rythmic and textual features that allow us to consider that it exists, between both compositions, a link of “seguir”. In this paper we are going to focus on what the sense of every poem would be and on their contexts, in order to set, if possible, the bounds that exist between these two satirical cantigas.
