Le Morte d'Arthur is an incredibly long book with the FASTEST PACE IMAGINABLE. I really thought we'd be taking our time here, but here's a real excerpt.
For she was a passing fair lady, therefore the King cast great love unto her, and desired to lie by her; so they were agreed, and he beget upon her Mordred, and she was his sister, on his mother's side, Igraine.
Then we just MOVE ON. And this was on PAGE THIRTY-FIVE. Sir Thomas SLOW DOWN. We have 900 pages to go.
must feel good as fuck to curse a prince for being rude to you while you were larping as an old woman for no reason
Ammoknight
Praxis, sister🙏🌈

Essential Princess Skills
Nuzhat al-Zaman (daughter of the King of Baghdad): "Yes, [I know the Quran by heart]," she said, "and I have a knowledge of philosphy, medicine, the Preface to Science and Galen's commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, on which I have commented myself. I have read the Tadhkira*, commented on the Burhan, studied the Mufradat** of Ibn al-Baitar**, and can discuss the Meccan Canon of Avicenna. I can solve riddles and set problems; I can talk about geometry and am proficient in anatomy. I have studied the books of the Shafi'ites, as well as the traditions of the Prophet, together with grammar. I have held debates with men of learning and have discussed all branches of knowledge. I am familiar with logic, rhetoric, arithmetic and astronomy. I know occult lore and how to establish the times of prayer. All these sciences I have mastered."
— 1001 Nights, Night 59, trans. Malcolm C Lyons
* Tadhkira = Tadhkirat al-Kahallin ("Treatise on Ophthalmologists")
** al-Jami' li-mufradat al-adwiyah wa-'l-aghdiya ("The comprehensive book on simple drugs and foods)
It's them, My Blorbos from the Vulgate (not to be confused with Bleoberis from the Vulgate, a different guy). One brother has anger issues, and the other would rather die than admit he's ever had a negative emotion in his life! Very normal of them! I'm sure their childhood trauma had nothing to do with it and it's fine. :)
The Vulgate truly is a chronicle of Saraide repeatedly trying to keep all of the Lady of the Lake's adopted children alive.
Gigantic turn-on for Sharkan and honestly who can blame him:
The Frank told his companions that the result would be decided the next day. After a night's rest, the two rode out and charged against one another. They continued to fight until midday, but then the Frank played a trick. He spurred on his horse, but then pulled it up with the reins so that it stumbled, throwing off its rider. Sharkan pounced on him and was about to strike him with his sword, fearing to prolong the affair, but the Frank shouted at him: "Sharkan, this is not knightly behavior, but the deed of a man who has been overcome by women." When Sharkan heard that, he looked up, stared at his opponent, and found that it was none other than Princess Abriza, whom he had earlier met in the convent. When he recognized her, he threw away his sword, kissed the ground before her, and said: "What led you to do this?" "I wanted to test you in the field," she answered, "and to see how you could stand up to blows given in battle. All my companions are virgin girls. They have overcome your riders on the battlefield and had my horse not stumbled and brought me down, you would have seen how strongly I can fight." Sharkan smiled at this and said: "Praise be to God for our safety and for my meeting with you, queen of the age!"

It had almost escaped my notice that it is now May, the month that dooms to a heartbroken death 99% of characters from folk ballads. So, if you suspect you may be a character from a folk ballad, for your own safety:
don’t fall in love, don’t go by the river, don’t go to the sea, don’t talk to sailors, don’t gamble, don’t ramble, don’t go North, don’t go North-West, don’t stand in the wind, don’t dance with anyone named Sally, Sue, Mary, Ann, or Barbara, don’t go to the pub (but if you do go to the pub at least don’t drink, and if you do drink at least pay for your own drink, and if you are absolutely broke and have to let someone else pay for your drink then at the very least do try not to forget to toast everyone you know whom you think might be there very loudly and possibly multiple times), don’t lend money, don’t borrow money, don’t wish you had more money, don’t make plans to make more money, don’t start working for a new employer, absolutely do believe anyone who says they will try to kill you, curse you, or maim you, absolutely do believe anyone who says you might die, turn down every invitation to go a-hunting, horse-riding, or a-courting, be wary of flute players you meet on your path, don’t dance with satanic men in black coats, don’t marry off your daughters to the first man who’ll have them, and don’t promise your true love any herbs you can’t readily plant and gather in your own garden.
There. That should just about cover you for 31 days. Heed the warnings and you may have a chance to last the month. Good luck.
Damsel Performance Review
You directed five hapless knights towards different life-threatening trials. Three survived, which is three more than last year. Good job!
You acquired seven decapitated heads from men who definitely deserved it. The Maiden of the Cart, who is the standard in this area, collected 152, so you have significant room for improvement.
The knight whom you had induced to guard a tomb, on the promise that, if he guarded successfully it for seven years, you would marry him, was defeated by a passing protagonist. Big relief!
You succoured one knight while he was being unjustly imprisoned by your relatives, and helped him escape from their snake pit. He was very grateful!
So grateful, in fact, that he helped you get your castle back from those same relatives. He is now offering to marry you. This was a bit of a mixed bag. Next time try to make sure any knights you rescue in this way are gay. This should not be hard.
You inspired the undying loyalty of three of your lady companions. Two of them are very hot. Not bad!

btw speaking of manuscripts did you all know that you can just go to this website that lists all the lancelot-grail manuscripts that exist and links to views for most of them, all of which are available for free to look at online!!! you can just go browsing and find your favorite arthurian characters :) a little hard to navigate + definitely helpful if you happen to know medieval french LOL but regardless you too can peruse medieval arthurian manuscripts for free whenever you want
in the furthest right column it also will tell you which manuscripts are illustrated and how much illustrations they have so you can easily see which ones have pictures (because some of them don’t.) this manuscript is one that i found that has pretty large and very high quality illustrations if you would like a place to start :)

How Many Times You Have to Kick His Ass Before He Acknowledges You Are Maybe A Better Wrestler Than Him: 3
"... By God, it was not by your strength that you threw me, but by the secution of your buttocks. We Iraqis are fond of large thighs, and this robbed me of my wits and of my sight. But if you wish, you can wrestle with me again when I have my wits about me, and this will be the last bout for me, according to the rules of wrestling. My vigor has now returned to me." "Why do you want to try again, loser?" she taunted. "But come on if you must, although I'm sure that this bout will be enough." So saying, she leaned forward, challenging him to wrestle, and he did the same, beginning to exert himself and taking care not to weaken. They grappled for a time and the girl found in him a strength that she had not met before. "You are taking care, Muslim," she said. "Yes," he agreed, "for you know that this is our last bout and afterwards we shall go our own ways." She laughed, and he laughed back, but at that she forestalled him, taking him unawares and gripping him by the thigh. She then threw him to the ground so that he fell on his back. Laughing at him, she said: "Do you eat nothing but bran? You are like a Bedouin's cap that falls off at a single blow or a child's toy blown away by the wind. What an unfortunate man you are! Go back to your Muslim army, and send someone else, for you are not capable of exertion. Proclaim among the Arabs, the Persians, the Turks and the Dailamis that if there is any strong man, he should come to me."
