Brewer gives the following account of this story: 'An old French Romance connected with the Carolingian cycle. The heroes, from whom it is named, were the twin sons of Bellisant, sister of King Pepin, and Alexander, and were born in a forest near Orléans.Orson (Fr. 'ourson', a little bear) was carried off by a bear and became a wild man and the terror of France. While the mother was searching for him, Valentine was carried off by his uncle, the King. The brothers had many adventures and Orson was reclaimed by Valentine. Orson married Fezon, daughter of Duke Savary of Aquitaine, and Valentine, Clerimond, sister of the Green Knight.'.

Woodcut on title-page (Valentine reclaiming Orson); the grave and acute accents of the title are irregular.
