This demonstrates to us a contradictory method of employment of scatology with a non-religious focus. This use of stercoraceous objects, as a means of displaying sexual arousal, is not unique to the works of La Chanson d’Audigier. According to István Czachesz, whilst discussing scatological humour in Greek literature, he asserts that a salient component of scatological humour is that its, “references to metabolic products are mixed with erotic elements.” Furthering this, Kathryn Gravdal attests that within the parody “We understand immediately that in scenes of courtship and wedding…, defecation… and scatophagy signify pleasure.” This suggests that line 489 in La Chanson d’Audigier is an effective way to portray the knight’s carnal desires.
