Do you ever think that the grail knights sang christmas songs to each other when they were homesick around christmas :((((

small comforts on a big journey…bors as the eldest knows the most songs, galahad holds the best tune, and perceval sings confidently to make up for lack of lyrical grace. none of them can play an instrument so it’s entirely acappella, as is done by traditional church choirs. maybe they even sleep in an abandoned chapel to keep out of the wind and their voices carry in the vaulted ceiling. they sleep better than usual that night.

Hello! I hope you are doing well :)

I bought a story book at a yard sale the other day a found a short story about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. After a bit of digging I found that it was an excerpt from a book by Mary MacLeod Banks (although the book credits her as Mary MacLeod) called The Book of King Arthur and his Noble Knights: Stories from Sir Thomas Malory's Morte D'Arthur and was published in 1900. Wikipedia linked a pdf but not to a google pdf even though it has a Google watermark :/

Anyway, I thought you’d be interested in this. Let me know if you want to know anything else :)

Hi! I'm doing well thank you, hope you are too!

I had never heard of this before! I grabbed a watermark free edition for you. It has illustrations as well! I see there's a whole section about Beaumains, that's fun. I'll have to check it out more closely some time soon. Thanks for telling me about it! :^D

oh oh… dinadan or la cote mal fet for the vulgate:)))

I’ve been attacked with brain worms

Bad news my friend, neither of these characters appear in the Vulgate! Might I interest you in some La Tavola Ritonda instead?

Name key: Amorotto = Lamorak Brunoro = Brunor Daniello = Daniel Dinadano = Dinadan Lancilotto = Lancelot Tristano = Tristan

Send me a character and I’ll reply with a Vulgate passage!

yo, how old was gawaine when he was knighted. I can’t find it online and don’t have access to any of my books rn :(

Hi!

It is unclear and dependent on the text. Based on the wording in the Vulgate, Post Vulgate, and Le Morte d'Arthur, I'd say he's over eighteen in the Vulgate and no younger than eighteen in Post and Le Morte. Here are the receipts, what do you think? (I put too much thought into this lol)

In The Book of Merlin of the Vulgate, Gawainet, his brothers, and all their cousins are referred to as "youths."

While this is not very specific, there is the differentiation of Yvain/Yvonet being too young to knight and is referred to as a squire instead of a lord like Gawainet's brothers and cousin Galescalain.

In The Merlin Continuation of the Post Vulgate, the circumstance of Gawain's knighting is changed. His brothers are not knighted with him and now Gaheriet is his squire. Still though, no specifics, he and his companions are referred to in the same vague terms.

If Gawain were a "boy" or "child," I think the text would have said so, as in the very next passage in Post, "young boy" Tor is stated to be fifteen.

Now in Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, he changed Tor's age to eighteen.

Forthwithal there came a poor man into the court, and brought with him a fair young man of eighteen years of age riding upon a lean mare; and the poor man asked all men that he met, Where shall I find King Arthur?

So in Post, fifteen year old Tor is a boy, but in Le Morte, eighteen year old Tor is man. My best guess would be that Vulgate Gawainet is over eighteen when he is knighted, as he is the eldest of the little group he leads with years enough for them all to be knighted, excepting squire Yvonet. But in Post and Le Morte, he could be eighteen on the nose but no younger, as he is referred to differently than Tor while Gaheriet/Gaheris is still young enough to squire for him.

Hope that helps!

bro, what’s up with one knight only?

hey!

i'm going to assume you're referencing some of my additions to posts and tags about gilgamesh/enkidu as they appear in one knight only by peter david. putting it below a cut for book spoilers!

the arthurian stuff in this book pales in comparison to the random addition of gilgamesh/enkidu. they were so unhinged after gilgamesh pulled a successful orpheus-style heist to bust enkidu out of the underworld and bring him back to life. they have this wild codependent relationship that’s strained by enkidu’s resentment about everything. he supposedly died of a broken heart (galehaut/elaine of astolet style) and then gilgamesh, who broke enkidu’s heart with his garbage behavior, drags enkidu back from the dead bc as a demigod he refuses to accept any consequences. in the midst of the arthurian plot, they have the most over the top fight/meltdown that results in enkidu killing himself on gilgamesh’s sword and then gilgamesh, once again unable to bear life without enkidu, cannibalizes his heart and they fuse into one being.

after this, the arthurian plot resolves, and gilgamesh/enkidu dies. the last lines of the book are their souls reuniting in the afterlife and finding peace together.

everyone loves to quote the ending to the song of achilles by madeline miller with similar vibes but whole truth i like this even better. i mean you can’t top eating your beloveds heart and becoming a single creature…nobody is doing it like them. except fitz and beloved from realm of the elderlings but this isn’t about them.
