Abstract
This paper studies the connections and influences of the Byzantine world in the chivalries book Tirant Lo Blanc by Joanot Martorell, written almost a decade after the Fall of Constantinople, but published in 1490. In the novel, historical elements of Byzantium appear to show its connections to West Europe, such as the journey of Roger de Flor and the Catalan Company to help Byzantium in the early 14th century and the diplomatic relations between The West and the last Palaeologue Emperors, among others. All of that is shown into the literary character of Tirant.
