  • The Book of Quests
    THE BOOK OF QUESTS uests are the driving force in the life of every noble Knight. So it should Qbe no surprise to find Quests at the very heart of Shadows over Camelot. While the content of the Rules Booklet should be familiar to every aspiring Knight, the Book of Quests is primarily a reference, written for inquisitive Knights in search of insight, or the scheming Traitor looking for a lethal edge. In the back of this book you will find two appendices. The first, unearthed from , old manuscripts, offers a glimpse of each Knight s personality. The second is a detailed manifest of each card used in the game. In this booklet, page numbers given in reference point to the corresponding entries in the Rules booklet, unless indicated otherwise. nnnnnnnnnn THE QUESTS nnnnnnnnnn There are several “Standard” Quests in Camelot’s immediate vicinity: N The Tournament against the Black Knight N The Quest for Lancelot N The Dragon’s Quest N The Quest for Excalibur N The Quest for the Holy Grail N The Pict and Saxon Wars each with its own entry in the Book of Quests. For each Quest won or lost, new Swords are laid onto the Round Table. As the game progresses, the Swords show which side currently has the advantage. There are also two “Special” Quests within Camelot proper, where a defeat spells immediate doom for the Loyal Knights: • The Siege of Camelot, which is lost if 12 Siege Engines ever surround Camelot; • and The Quest of the Round Table, where the outcome of the game is decided in favor of whichever color Swords have the majority, once 12 or more have been laid down.

    Friday, 28.07.2017 09:00-10:30 Artusrezeption in Spätmittelalter und Früher Neuzeit Head: Mathias Herweg Room 2 Unsere Sektion zum Rahmenthema "Nachmittelalterlicher Artus: Druck und andere Medien" befasst sich mit dem Weiterleben des Artusstoffs und der Artusfiguren im Spätmittelalter und der Frühen Neuzeit. Das Spektrum reicht vom 13. bis zum 16. Jahrhundert (mit einem Schwerpunkt im 15./16. Jh.) und deckt die deutsche, französische, italienische und niederländische Literatur ab. Beleuchtet wird einerseits, wie Figuren der matière de Bretagne in verschiedenen Gattungen rezipiert werden (in längeren und kürzeren Erzähltexten, in verschiedenen lyrischen Gattungen und auf der Bühne), andererseits, welche Rolle dabei verschiedene Medienwechsel (Buchdruck, Text/Bild, Bühne) spielen. DIE FRÜHEN DRUCKE DER FRANZÖSISCHEN ARTUSROMANE Brigitte Burrichter Im ausgehenden 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert wurden mehrere französische Artusromane des 13. Jahrhunderts gedruckt. Gegenstand des Vortrags wird der Umgang der Drucker mit den mittelalterlichen Romanen sein (Modernisierung der Sprache, Vorworte). RÜCKBLICK AUF DES KÖNIG ARTUS ZEIT. ARTUS-ERWÄHNUNGEN IM HÖFISCH-GALANTEN ROMAN DES 15./16. JAHRHUNDERTS Cora Dietl In der höfisch-galanten Erzählliteratur des späteren 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts lässt sich zunehmend eine historische Distanz zur arthurischen Welt erkennen. Wenn ritterliche Romane dieser Zeit in England oder Frankreich spielen, dann ist es meist das nacharthurische Britannien, in dem sich zwar Konstellationen aus der Artusliteratur wiederholen, aber keine Artusritter mehr auftreten. Sie werden trotzdem als Exempel genannt – und das häufig zu Beginn der Handlung, um beim Rezipienten das entsprechende literarische Muster aufzurufen und die Rezipientenerwartung entsprechend zu lenken. Diesem Phänomen werde ich an verschiedenen Beispieltexten nachgehen (u.a. Pontus und Sidonia, Ritter Galmy, Amadis), um nach der Funktion des Arthurischen im nichtarthurischen höfisch-galanten Roman um 1500 generell zu fragen.

King Arthur was a legendary ruler of Britain whose life and deeds became the basis for a collection of tales known as the Arthurian legends. As the leading figure in British mythology, King Arthur is a national hero and a symbol of Britain's heroic heritage. But his appeal is not limited to Britain. The Arthurian story—with its elements of mystery, magic, love, war, adventure, betrayal, and fate—has touched the popular imagination and has become part of the world's shared mythology. The Celts blended stories of the warrior Arthur with those of much older mythological characters, such as Gwydion (pronounced GWID-yon), a Welsh priest-king. Old Welsh tales and poems place Arthur in traditional Celtic legends, including a hunt for an enchanted wild pig and a search for a magic cauldron, or kettle. In addition, Arthur is surrounded by a band of loyal followers who greatly resemble the disciples of Finn , the legendary Irish hero.

    Richard III’s Books: X. The Prose Tristan ANNE F. SUTTON AND LIVIA VISSER-FUCHS Tristan, lover, knight of the Round Table and famous huntsman, was one of the best known heroes of the later middle ages. One story can be cited to prove his popularity. Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, had a row with his son,Charles, and galloped off fugiously into the forest. The next morning when he was recovering from his night of exertions his good humour was restored by his friend and Chamberlain, Philippe Pot, who said: Good morning, monseigneur, what is this? Are you King Arthur now or Sir Lancelot? Did you think there would be no Sir Tristrams wandering around who would be a match for you?‘ The Duke was feeling rather the worse for wear, he laughed and agreed that he had had his ‘adventure, but added that despite his sorry state he was still capable of taking up arms if love or honour demanded it. To both Philip and his courtier, ‘Tristram’ was an integral part of the Arthurian stories, he was Lancelot’ 5 equal, a knight errant and one of the best knights in the world. Their ‘Tristram’ was very different from the .original character of Celtic legend. The Celtic hero had become one of the famous triangle, with Queen Isolde and King Mark of Cornwall, as developed by twelfth- ccntury poets, and that creation in its turn underwent considerable alteration at the hands of the authors of the Prose Tristan.2 Most English people still know the love story of Tristan and Isolde in a version deriving from the prose Tristan through the medium of Sir Thomas Malory, Spenser or Tennyson.

I contend that in both texts, fairies become intimately associated with conceptions of the ancient British past, and, more narrowly, with the idea of a specifically insular kingship that seeks its legitimization within that past. In Chapter One, I argue that Map’s longer version of the Herla narrative is his own synthesis of traditional materials, intended to highlight the continuity of a notion of British kingship that includes the pygmy king, Herla and Henry II.

I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia.

    University of Cambridge Faculty of English Romance Motifs and Ethics in Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’ Suxue Zhang Magdalene College Supervisor: Dr James Wade This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, June 2017 Dissertation Title: Romance Motifs and Ethics in Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’ Name: Suxue Zhang Summary Sir Thomas Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’, a condensation of the Old French Tristan en prose, has not received the attention it deserves. Previous studies notice the two texts’ differences in characterisation, style, moral emphasis, structural arrangements, and so on, but no study has sufficiently demonstrated the overall strategy and the moral purposes behind Malory’s changes. This thesis offers an evaluation of both texts’ approaches to some ethical questions, including identity, violence, justice, and passion, through a close analysis of their presentation of romance motifs. The comparison draws on traditional treatments of these motifs and reveals that the authors of romance can incorporate stratified perspectives to voice ideological interpretations. Malory’s treatment of the moral discourse in the ‘Tristram’ articulates the chivalric ideal in the characters’ expressions of how they understand identity, honour, courtesy, courage, faithfulness, justice, compassion, and love. This analysis shows how Malory renews the meaning of the romance motifs borrowed from his sources by changing the characters’ response to the ethical problems underlying the archetypal actions. Thus, Malory’s narrative generates experiential edification, as it engages the reader in the active moral evaluation of the events. Declaration of Length This dissertation is the result of my own work, produced exclusively for the degree for which it is submitted.
