Abstract

Coming to terms with sodomy in Heinrich von Veldeke's Eneasroman means defining the ulterior motives of Lavinia's mother. 1 It is the queen who brings up this unsavoury accusation, and when she does so, it is politically motivated. She tries to persuade first her husband and then her daughter that Æneas is unqualified to become Lavinia's husband and thus successor to the old king, a new king of reliable longevity, and the father of a dynasty of future kings.
