			'''Raoul de Cambrai''' is a 13th century French [[chanson de geste]].

			The existing romance is a recension of a poem by a [[trouvère]] of Laon called Bertholais, who professed to have witnessed the events he described. It presents, like the other provincial geste of [[Garin le Loherain]], a picture of the devastation caused by the private [[war]]s of the [[feudal]] chiefs.

	The [[fief]] of Raoul's deceased father is given away by Louis to another [[vassal]]; Raoul later attempts to reclaim his lands during an audience with the [[king]]. Louis instead offers to Raoul the next fief to become vacant (which becomes that of Hubert de Vermandois) but when its [[lord]] dies, Louis hesitates in giving the land to Raoul, as Vermandois has four sons looking to keep their fief. Raoul and the Vermandois heirs then go to war. After torching the Vermandois town of Origny, in which lived the mother of Raoul's [[squire]] Bernier, Bernier declares that he will have vengeance upon his master and manages to fulfil his [[oath]]. Then, Raoul's uncle Guerri kills Bernier and the vendetta remains in play. Guerri later manages to escape from his home into exile and out of record.
