With this perspective, this study lies in the field of Medieval History of Education, aiming to reflect on this literary genre as a relevant element in the formation of the Christian nobleman. From this perspective, we reflect the sense of authority and leadership; We will place the historical context and the formulations contained in Dhuoda Manual, explaining to what extent its proposal follows the premises of this literary genre.
