dbo:abstract
  • Urganda la Desconocida es uno de los principales personajes del ciclo de libros de caballerías iniciado en la literatura castellana por el Amadís de Gaula, cuya primera edición conocida es de 1508 pero que es una obra muy anterior. Urganda es una sabia encantadora o maga, que aparece por primera vez en el capítulo II del primer libro de Amadís de Gaula, cuando formula una enigmática advertencia a Gandales, padre adoptivo del Doncel del Mar (Amadís), y a lo largo de todo el ciclo protege y auxilia a Amadís y a sus familiares. Se hace llamar Urganda la Desconocida porque tiene la habilidad de cambiar de apariencia. Su residencia principal es la Ínsula No Fallada (no hallada), isla que recibe ese nombre porque la sabia podía hacerla inaccesible. Es dueña además de una embarcación mágica, la Fusta de la Gran Serpiente. Además de ayudar a Amadís de Gaula en diversas coyunturas, asiste a sus bodas con la princesa Oriana, hija de Lisuarte de Gran Bretaña, y en ellas hace varias profecías sobre el futuro próximo. (es)

The Spanish poet Miguel Cervantes mentions her in the preliminary Poems of Don Quixote (1605) . The part she plays in the poem is more like that of Merlin. She derives her title from the faculty which, like Merlin, she possessed of changing her form and appearance at will. A hermitage folly designed in 1750 by Thomas Wright in the grounds of Badminton House , in Gloucestershire , England, and known as the Root House is dedicated to her. (en)
