Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A massive chivalric epic poem in 46 cantos by Ludovico Ariosto, first published in 1516 and revised and expanded a couple of times, with its final form appearing in 1532. Orlando Furioso ("Mad Orlando" or "The Fury of Orlando") continues and completes the story begun in the unfinished but equally epic poem, Orlando Innamorato ("Orlando In Love") by Matteo Maria Boiardo, Conte di Scandiano (1441-1494). Charlemagne (Carlo) is at war with the Saracens, and his paladin Orlando (Roland), the world's greatest knight (and hero of the French Chanson de Roland), goes mad from Unrequited Love for the pagan princess Angelica of Cathay. Has a Beta Couple, which also consists of a pagan and a Christian: Ruggiero (Roger) of Risa and Bradamante, the mythical ancestors of Boiardo's and Ariosto's employers, the Este family, ducal house of Ferrara.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The poem is not so much a Chivalric Romance as a Deconstruction of same, casting an ironic eye on all the tropes and conventions of the genre, with Orlando's devotional love turning to madness being only the most obvious treatment. But Ariosto is more interested in entertaining than anything else, and succeeds at his task at great length. It was enormously influential in the centuries after it was written, influencing Tasso, Spencer, and Milton to name the most famous. Gustave Doré illustrated the poem in a memorable style. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death: Orillo, a semi-immortal bandit, is decapitated and has his helpless and still-living head scalped by Astolfo because that's the only way to negate his Healing Factor. When a sea monster proves to be largely impervious to his blows, Orlando uses an anchor to drag it to land whereupon it eventually suffocates to death. | |

However, she is able to maintain a Mask of Sanity when she is interacting with others, only slipping into a berserk, suicidal rage when she is alone and on the hunt. | |

Black Knight: When Angelica escapes the court of Charlemagne, Orlando forsakes his duties and dons a suit of dark armor to pursue his would-be love. Still a noble paladin at heart, he helped out a number of folks along the way in his new vagabond guise before he went completely insane and shirked clothing altogether. | |

Properly Paranoid: Subverted. Atlante wanted to protect Ruggiero from the dangerous life of a knight. Upon escaping him, Ruggiero does endure many insane and perilous situations (he is, at one point, almost pressured into having sex with his long-lost sister), but he manages to overcome them and become a hero in his own right. | |

So Beautiful, It's a Curse: With a side order of Cursed with Awesome in the prequel: Angelica, a pagan, comes to Charlemagne's court specifically to cause havoc with her beauty, and succeeds quite entertainingly — and all too well. By the time Ariosto takes up the story, she's lost her brother and been kidnapped for her beauty more times than you really want to think about — all she wants to do is get home and be done with it all. | |

Honor Before Reason: Even after discovering that King Agramant is the son of man who killed his father, Ruggiero refuses to break ties with him (as he had sworn loyalty to his army to fast-track his path to becoming a knight) unless officially dismissed. It takes being abandoned by Agramant for Throwing the Fight against Rinaldo (Bradamante's brother) and then getting shipwrecked and marooned on an island (on his way to rejoin Agramant) for months with a holy hermit endlessly haranguing him for his life choices for him to decide that perhaps his vow has been fulfilled in spirit. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| Orlando Furioso / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: Mandricardo steals Durandal from the berserk Orlando (who he wisely decides against confronting even with said weapon), giving him a gimped version of the invincibility Hektor's armour would have granted him if he had taken it from Orlando by force or won it from him in a duel. While the strengthening he does receive is enough to let him battle the equally quasi-invulnerable Rodomonte (who is himself empowered by the Arms of Nimrod) to a standstill, the fact that he's still very killable is how the rather normal Ruggiero manages to eke out a bloody victory against him. | |

Motive Decay: Mandricardo initially desires vengeance against Orlando for killing his father, but after realising that beating him in a fight is nigh-impossible, he instead steals his would-be rival's horse and sword, goes on a number of minor misadventures, and dies rather ingloriously against Ruggiero in a mostly unrelated skirmish for a horse Rodomonte stole from the latter. | |

Knight Templar Parent: Atlante may be one of the few characters who isn't a knight, or actually a parent for that matter, but he still fits this trope by going to insane lengths to keep Ruggiero locked up for his own good, and even coming back from the dead to protect his charges. | |

Badass Normal: Ruggiero foregoes using enchanted weapons because he thinks they'd give him an unfair advantage. Notably, he's the only character in the book with this mindset since every other knight (including his love interest, Bradamante) uses such armaments when they can. | |

Sore Loser: There is a certain etiquette to losing a duel in that the victor is allowed to demand their bested foe a certain item or task with the understanding that once the transaction is completed, the loser will be allowed to leave with their lives. Marfisa, who has won or stalemated every fight she's ever engaged in, does not take losing to Bradamante well and keeps trying to attack her only to be knocked down two more times. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Loads. Orlando's defection to pursue Angelica indirectly leads to his fellow Paladins Brandimart and Oliver getting imprisoned when they mount an expedition into Spain to find him. When Orlando goes insane, he ditched Durandal, which also indirectly causes the deaths of his friends Prince Zerbino and Princess Isabel. And that's just what he, the title protagonist, is responsible for. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: Pretty much everybody who fell in love with Angelica, including the titular Orlando. After being romantically pursued by the world's greatest knights, the princess ends up falling in love with and marrying Medoro, a wounded mere foot-soldier. If it is any consolation to you - or Angelica - Medoro will become king in a later followup, La coronazione di Medoro. | |

Take a Third Option | |

Take a Third Option: Angelica picks neither Orlando nor Scarpescant (to name only her two most prominent knightly suitors), but Medoro, an obscure foot-soldier. Forced to fight on King Leo's (who doesn't know his true identity) behalf after he rescued him from a Greek prison, Ruggiero is used as a stand-in champion to fight for Bradamante's hand in marriage on his master's behalf. Given the choice between fighting Bradamante (who is too in love with him to fight at her fullest and will be handed over to Leo if she loses) or dishonour himself by betraying his liberator, he opts to surrender and exiles himself to the wilds to starve himself to death. | |

Not so much out of personal enmity or due to an intimate connection with him, but because with the departure of many of his best warriors (Rodomonte, Ruggiero, Marfisa, etc.), he's the only Saracen left who stands a chance against the grotesquely mighty paladin. | |

Spoof Aesop: In a story that might or might not have happened in-universe, Astolfo and his friend Giocondo are cheated on by their respective wives. Reluctant to punish their spouses, they instead elect to determine whether or not women are inclined to infidelity or if theirs are special cases that require correction. After seducing and bedding 1,000 married women and then getting cheated on by a woman they were both having sex with, they conclude that women are just as inclined towards promiscuity as men whereupon they forgive the indiscretions of their wives and allow them to continue. | |

Berserk Button: Interrupting a single combat in which Marfisa is involved is not a good idea. In the prequel she attacks her boss (and his army) for attacking the guy she was already fighting. In this one, she tries to kill her best friend for trying to intervene in her fight with Bradamante. | |

Nerf Arm: Astolfo's magical lance knocks down whoever it hits rather than skewer or slash them. This actually saves Marfisa's life as Bradamante forgets which weapon she's wielding as she charges at her, causing a blow that would have run her through the heart to simply unseat Marfisa from her horse instead. | |

All Amazons Want Hercules | |
| Orlando Furioso / int_c0fda9f6 | comment |
All Amazons Want Hercules: In the Lady Land visited by Astolpho and Marfisa, the only way a man can avoid slavery is to prove his worthiness by defeating ten champions in a day and then bed ten women that night. According to Guido's extensive explanation, this was set up precisely because of this trope, when the queen's daughter desired a particularly worthy fighter who was, in fact, descended from Hercules. Marfisa, being Marfisa, wanted to partake too and had no problem with task #1. Unfortunately the author keeps us in the dark about task #2... | |

They escape when the real Angelica accidentally dispels it with her Anti-Magic ring. The results are not pretty. | |

You Killed My Father: In a rush to defy surrogate father Atlante and become a knight, Ruggiero signed on with the first king that would have a nobody like him in their elite ranks. That king was Agramant, whose predecessor Ruggiero learns later murdered his and Marfisa's birth father in cold blood. Unfortunately, his same vows prevent him from turning his sword against his Master and it's ultimately Orlando who brings Agramant to justice. | |

Pet the Dog: Fed up with having his attempts to protect Ruggiero met with scorn and ingratitude, Atlante washes his hands of the matter and entombs himself away from the mortal plane ala Merlin. However, his spirit returns to the land of the living to warn Ruggiero and Marfisa that they are twin siblings just as the sexual tension between them was about to bloom into full-blown incestuous intercourse. | |
