Bodel was the first person of record to classify the legendary themes and literary cycles known to medieval literature into the "Three Matters":
-- the "Matter of Rome", or retellings of stories from classical antiquity
-- the "Matter of Britain", concerning King Arthur; and
-- the "Matter of France", concerning Charlemagne and his paladins.
