"This article discusses certain elements found in Mabrien, the last part of the written Montauban cycle, dated 1462. The text describes a hero, who could be considered a "hero of closure." In a cycle, which includes the romance form, it can be assumed that this type of hero must have particular characteristics that separate him from just "another hero." We will therefore start from the hypothesis that such a character is connected in a number of ways to the original tale, to its foundation, and thus by implication is inscribed into the myth: having to "bring the adventures to a close," the "hero of closure" is mythic in the sense that he has a privileged relationship with the forces of nature, with the society he is remodeling, and possibly with the Other World. Moreover, in order for this culmination to be legitimate, the hero must be shown to be profoundly integrated into the cycle; and his journey must be one of culmination, something which cannot simply be measured by the success of his exploits. The hero of closure must have what the others have, even if it means reliving adventures that are identical to those of his predecessors, "inscribing him into the cycle, while giving him an endpost-position, which justifies his greater importance in these adventures." He must go further and resolve all the tensions generated during the course of the cycle. "
