ISBN 978-1-909698-64-2 CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1 - Lancelot the Legend Chapter 2 - Lancelot in France Chapter 3 - Lancelot in Britain Conclusion Introduction Of all the Knights of the Round Table, none is so famous as Sir Lancelot. He is both the finest of the Arthurian knights, and the worst. He is the champion of the Round Table, and the reason for its destruction. He is loyal, yet treacherous. Noble, but base. His is a complex character that combines the best and worst of the world of chivalry in one person. It is Sir Lancelot who features in every modern adaptation of the old stories. Be it an historical novel, a Hollywood movie or a British TV series, Lancelot is centre stage. He is usually shown as a romantically flawed hero doomed to eventual disgrace by the same talents and skills that earn him fame in the first place.

  • The Adventures of Sir Lancelot Du Lake
    1 The Adventures of Sir Lancelot du Lake There was held a feast of the Round Table at Caerleon, with high splendour; and all the knights thereof held many games and jousts. And therein Sir Lancelot increased in fame and worship above all men, for he overthrew all comers, and never was unhorsed or worsted, save by treason and enchantment. When Queen Guinevere had seen his wondrous feats, she held him in great favour, and smiled more on him than on any other knight. And Lancelot thought on her as fairest of all ladies, and done his best to win her grace. So the queen often sent for him, and bade him tell of his birth and strange adventures: how he was only son of great King Ban of Brittany, and how, one night, his father, with his mother Helen and himself, fled from his burning castle; how his father, groaning deeply, fell to the ground and died of grief and wounds, and how his mother, running to her husband, left himself alone; how, as he thus lay wailing, came the lady of the lake, and took him in her arms and went with him into the midst of the waters, where, with his cousins Lionel and Bors he had been cherished all his childhood until he came to King Arthur’s court; and how this was the reason why men called him Lancelot du Lake. Anon it was ordained by King Arthur, that in every year at Pentecost there should be held a festival of all the knights of the Round Table at Caerleon, or such other place as he should choose.

Elsewhere, Paul Stevens has shown the extent to which Milton was in a similar predicament, wanting to find in England’s history a subject worthy of epic, but torn between the rigorous revisionism of the likes of Camden and Selden and ‘the patriotic [tradition] mediated through Spenser, Shakespeare, and Drayton’ (Stevens 2012: 157). Between Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur, completed by 1470, and published by Caxton – with carefully qualified scepticism about Arthur’s existence – in 1485, and Milton’s History of Britain (1670), we can follow the fortunes of Arthur as a figure contested and celebrated in equal measure.

  • Writing and Literary Study Spring 2010 the Chivalrous Sir Gawain If
    Ahmed 1 Sarin Taslima Ahmed College Writing II: Writing and Literary Study Spring 2010 The Chivalrous Sir Gawain If a man does not open the door for a woman, she may think chivalry is dead or forget that it ever existed at all. Today's woman is not a damsel in distress, but rather stands on equal ground with her masculine counterpart. She has no need to acknowledge that there was ever a time when men lived and died for the sake of honor. However, around 1066 a.d. to 1485 a.d., that was exactly what European knights, and those around the world, did (Achlin). Of these brave soldiers, the most famous were the Knights of the Round Table, subjects of Camelot and King Arthur. Perhaps the most acclaimed knights are dubbed Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain. Lancelot is still known as the greatest of all knights, the perfect knight, but based on Gawain's actions in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by the Pearl Poet and those of Lancelot in The Once and Future King by T.H. White, I've come to the conclusion that Gawain is a greater model of chivalry than Lancelot. Following the code of chivalry, Gawain is faithful to God, his King, and he is respectful to women. Lancelot is very talented, but he does not feel the need to follow the laws of knighthood, and ends up disregarding King Arthur, Queen Guinevere and even God because of it. "Two virtues above all else were held to mark the good knight and bring him honor.

  • Iknights 2021 Background Guide
    iMUNC 2021 Background Guide iKnights Chair: Kate Montano Crisis Director: Elly Tuffey Saturday, April 10 | NYC iSchool Letters From The Dias Hello Delegates, My name is Kate Montano, and I am super excited to be the chair for iKnights! I joined Model UN at the beginning of my freshman year at iSchool and am now a Junior. This is my first time chairing for iMUNC-- something that I’m excited (and nervous) for. At iSchool, Model UN is a pretty popular club so I thought I would try it out. When I began Model UN, I honestly had no idea how to conduct myself. I was incredibly intimidated by my more experienced peers, and I hardly participated. After lots of practice and lots of learning though, I found my voice and really began to love Model UN. Something that I appreciate about Model UN is the innumerable ways in which a delegate can act or lead the conference; it can start out really serious, but can also be really silly or have many unexpected endings. Model UN also intensified my love for my school; the iSchool never puts pressure on the club to be overly formal or serious. During my first conferences, I was always so worried about saying or doing something that was incorrect, but I’ve learned that you really can’t do anything incorrect in Model UN because making choices is a part of the fun. Be creative with your characters and the way you portray them-- it's all up to you! This committee in particular is based on a myth, so you really can’t go wrong with it.

  • THE STORY of KING ARTHUR and HIS KNIGHTS by Howard Pyle
    THE STORY OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS By Howard Pyle HOW KING ARTHUR HELD A ROYAL WEDDING, AND ESTABLISHED THE ROUND TABLE. AND now was come the early fall of the year; that pleasant season when meadowland and wold were still green with the summer that had only just passed; when the sky, likewise, was as of summertime-extraordinarily blue and full of large floating clouds; when a bird might sing here and another there a short song in memory of springtime (as the smaller fowl doth when the year draweth to its ending); when all the air was tempered with, warmth and yet the leaves were everywhere turning brown and red and gold, so that when the sun shone through them it was as though a cloth of gold, broidered with brown and crimson and green, hung above the head. Now was come the early autumn season of the year, when it is exceedingly pleasant to be afield among the nut-trees with hawk and hound, or to travel abroad in the yellow world, whether it be ahorse or afoot. Such was the time of year in which had been set the marriage of King Arthur and the Lady Guinevere at Camelot, and at that place was extraordinary pomp and glory of circumstance. All the world was astir and in a great ferment of joy, for all folk were exceedingly glad that King Arthur was to have a queen. In preparation for that great occasion the town of Camelot was entirely bedight with magnificence, for the stony street along which the Lady Guinevere must come to the royal castle of the king was strewn thick with fresh-cut rushes, smoothly laid.
