Summary/Abstract: In this study in which we focus on the linguistic-stylistic features of the testimonies of the translation of Western medieval texts, the purpose is to show some lexicon of power, with masculine referent, through which the process of reception of these texts, in different cultures and times, is reflected. In the first moment of our analysis, attention is drawn to the reception of French Arthurian texts in culture with sociocultural affinities, Galician-Portuguese, and in a coeval or very close epoch to that in which the respective texts originate. In the second moment of our analysis, attention is drawn to the reception, in a modern epoch, of several Western medieval texts in an Eastern culture, Romanian, with different features from that which originates the texts.
