  • Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Not Really a Chivalric Romance Mladen M
    Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Not Really a Chivalric Romance Mladen M. Jakovljević University in Kosovska Mitrovica, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of English, Filipa Višnjića bb, 38220 Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia [email protected] Vladislava S. Gordić Petković University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of English Studies, Dr Zorana Djindjića 2, 21101 Novi Sad, Serbia [email protected] Medieval English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is unique not only in its form, content and structure, but also in the poet’s skillful use of conventions that play with the reader’s expectations by introducing elements that make the poem exquisitely ambivalent and place it in the fuzzy area where reality and fiction overlap. Although the poem seemingly praises the strength and purity of chivalry and knighthood, it actually subtly criticizes and comments on their failure when practiced outside the court and in real life. This is particularly noticeable when the poem’s symbolism, its hero, and the society he comes from are read against historical context, i.e. as reflections of the realities of medieval life. Accordingly, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be read as a poem that praises chivalry and knighthood more by way of commenting on their dissipation than through overt affirmation, as the future of the kingdom, its rulers and society, with its faulty Christian knights, is far from bright, given the cracks and flaws that mar its seemingly glossy façade. Keywords: English literature / medieval romance / Sir Gawain and the Green Knight / love / knighthood / chivalry Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the best medieval English romances and also one of the most unconventional.

  • Medieval Beliefs in Arthur's Atlantic Voyages
    3 MEDIEVAL BELIEFS IN ARTHUR’S ATLANTIC VOYAGES ARTHUR’S DEATH OVERSEAS IN GEOFFREY’S HISTORY Geoffrey’s Reconcilation of Two Traditions The thesis set out in this book, that Arthur sailed west to a distant land in the sixth century, here identified as North America, is not a new one. It was present at the time that Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote his famous History of the Kings of Britain in c. 1138. Geoffrey drew on a wide range of material to write his book and would have been familiar with the entry in the Annales Cambriae that Arthur died at the battle of Camlann along with Mordred (Medraut) in 537/539. Camlann was thought to be located in Britain. In his pseudo-history, Geoffrey expands this data into a tale of adultery and betrayal. He presents Mordred as Arthur’s nephew, usurping the crown and having a sexual relationship with Guinevere (Gwenhwyfar), while Arthur was fighting in Europe. Hearing this news, Arthur returns to Britain and engages Mordred in a series of battles until Mordred flees to Cornwall. There at the River Camblam (Geoffrey’s location for Camlann) the final battle took place, where Mordred is killed. However at this point Geoffrey inexplicably departs from the basic data of the Annales Cambriae. Instead of Arthur dying at Camlann, Geoffrey presents him as only being severely wounded and abruptly states that he was then carried off to the Isle of Avalon so that his wounds might be healed. No information or explanation concerning the Isle of Avalon is given. The key question of interest is why did not Geoffrey simply allow Arthur’s life to end at Camlann, as in the Annales Cambriae, dying a heroic death but winning the battle against the traitors and heathens opposed to him? The answer to this is that Geoffrey was aware of a different tradition that had Arthur dying at a distant place overseas.

  • The Virgin Mary As the Arms of King Arthur
    The Virgin Mary as the Arms of King Arthur C. Baxter∗ www.Colin-Baxter.com © 2019, 2020 Colin Baxter January, 2020 Abstract We present an account of how the Virgin Mary came to have a medieval heraldic association with King Arthur, and suggest a possible reason why the association began in England. Writers on Arthurian heraldry and literature sometime mention that King Arthur used a depiction of the Virgin Mary as his coat-of-arms. Usually little detail is given, other than indicating that the arms are fictitious, and perhaps quoting Nennius, a supposed Welsh monk, as the authority to the claim that Arthur bore the image of the Virgin Mary. The ultimate source of the heraldic association of King Arthur with the Virgin Mary is the Historia Brittonum, which although appearing fanciful at times, is an account of the history of the British Isles from the time of its first settlers up to the Sixth Century. As well as a history, the Historia Brittonum also contains other material such as genealogies and place names. From textual arguments, it is thought to have been written or compiled in Wales, sometime in the Ninth Century by an anonymous author (Fitzpatrick-Mathews, 2015). The attribution of its authorship to a Welsh monk called Nennuis is now discredited. However, the Historia Brittonum is not a Ninth Century document as such, but comprises over forty enigmatic and confusing Latin manuscripts, all of which contain different versions of text. All the extant copies are medieval in origin and therefore date four to five hundred years after the estimated time of an original compilation.

  • Rammed Earth Walls in Serón De Nágima Castle (Soria, Spain): Constructive Lecture
    Rammed Earth Conservation – Mileto, Vegas & Cristini (eds) © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-62125-0 Rammed earth walls in Serón de Nágima castle (Soria, Spain): Constructive lecture I.J. Gil Crespo Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: The Raya or frontier between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón was fortified with a system of castles and walled-cities that were useful during the several conflicts that took place in the Late Medieval Age. The Serón de Nágima castle defended the communication road between the axis of the Jalón river valley, which flows into the Ebro, and Duero valley. Its uniqueness stems from the fact that it is one of the few fortifications in the area where rammed earth is the only building system used. In this paper, the castle building fundaments are exposed mainly focusing on the techniques and building proc- esses developed from the interpretation of the legible constructive signs in its walls. 1 INTRODUCTION the constructive putlog holes left in the masonry by the scaffolding we can study the systems and The Late Medieval strategy for delimitating and processes of building.

While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH DIRLETON CASTLE SYNOPSIS Dirleton Castle, in the heart of the pretty East Lothian village of that name, is one of Scotland's oldest masonry castles. Built around the middle of the 13th century, it remained a noble residence for four centuries. Three families resided there, and each has left its mark on the fabric – the de Vauxs (13th century – the cluster of towers at the SW corner), the Haliburtons (14th/15th century – the entrance gatehouse and east range) and the Ruthvens (16th century – the Ruthven Lodging, dovecot and gardens). The first recorded siege of Dirleton Castle was in 1298, during the Wars of Independence with England. The last occurred in 1650, following Oliver Cromwell’s invasion. However, Dirleton was primarily a residence of lordship, not a garrison stronghold, and the complex of buildings that we see today conveys clearly how the first castle was adapted to suit the changing needs and fancies of their successors. The castle is surrounded by eye-catching gardens. These were probably laid out by the Ruthvens but in their present state are 19th/20th-century creations, as is the bowling green.
