#gawain/lancelot

[mortiscausa]

Launcelot with this sword shall slay the man that in the world he loved best, that shall be Sir Gawaine.

handing your man the sword he will one day kill you with ~*just arthurian things*~

before lancelot was even born, lot and king ban & bors the elder fight on opposite sides. their opposition is framed (at least in the morte) as natural as a result of geographical distinctions even though such a north vs south divide is distinctly late medieval ("Now shall we see, said King Bors, how these northern Britons can bear the arms").

interestingly, when lot sees bors, despite their current position, he cannot help but praise him ("O Jesu, defend us from death and horrible maims! for I see well we be in great peril of death; for I see yonder a king, one of the most worshipfullest men and one of the best knights of the world, is inclined unto his fellowship.")

this admiration lot directs toward bors mirrors the regard gawain holds lancelot in for the majority of the story, even on his deathbed when lancelot is guilty of murdering his brothers, sons of lot, and is partly responsible (at least according to gawain) for gawain's own fatal injuries: "Unto Sir Launcelot, flower of all noble knights that ever I heard of or saw by my days, I, Sir Gawaine, King Lot's son of Orkney . . . send thee greeting . . . this same day that I wrote this cedle, I was hurt to the death in the same wound, the which I had of thy hand, Sir Launcelot; for of a more nobler man might I not be slain.")

so now i'm thinking about how lancelot and gawain strive so hard not to have geographical, political, familial tensions get in the way of their relationship, but by the end of the narrative, they find their positions mirror that of their parents/ancestors.

[knightsofsomethingorother]

"average knight kills 50 people a year" factoid is actually just statistical error. Average knight kills maybe 2 people per year. Manslaughters Gawain and Murder-In-The-Third-Degree Lancelot, who live in Camelot and kill hundreds of people a week, are outliers adn should not have been counted

[queer-ragnelle]

consistently overestimating the general public’s level of arthurian understanding.
