For centuries the legends of King Arthur and his knights have enthralled audiences throughout the western world. Their cumulative efforts has resulted in a large, extant corpus of poetry and prose detailing the adventures of Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, King Mark, King Arthur.... Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae testifies how contemporaries considered Arthurian legends to be serious history. King Arthur is included in Monmouth's list of kings of Britain, and his wars to resist foreign domination (first Roman, then Saxon) are described in loving detail. Arthur's exploits are inspirational and stirring tales of adventure: and my sympathies are firmly enlisted on the side of all those who wish they were actual history. In the English speaking tradition, readers are likely already familiar with Malory's Le Mort d'Arthur and Tennyson's blank verse Idylls of the King. Each work presents a powerful and compelling summary of the Arthurian material in their own right. In retelling Arthurian legends, authors are forced to sift and select from the huge mass of adventures available, and even variant endings of a given adventure. Composition invariably involves much harmonising of disparate source materials. Of such stuff are legends made.The present work selects stories from both Malory and Tennyson and retells them in rhymed verse. Readers of the works just mentioned above will have little trouble identifying the source in each particular case. My retellings here are broadly faithful to the originals: but I have taken an author's liberty to smooth out contradictions and omit details deemed superfluous.

THE MARRIAGE OF SIR GAWAIN Sir Gawain Gawain is generally said to be the nephew of Arthur. His parents were Lot of Orkney and Morgause (though his mother is said to be Anna in Geoffrey of Monmouth). Upon the death of Lot, he became the head of the Orkney clan, which includes in many sources his brothers Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth, and his half-brother Mordred. Gawain figures prominently in many romances. In France he is generally presented as one who has adventures paralleling in diptych fashion but not overshadowing the hero's, whether that hero be Lancelot or Percivale. In the English tradition, however, it is much more common for Gawain to be the principal hero and the exemplar of courtesy and chivalry, as he is in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the other Arthurian romances of the Alliterative Revival. In Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, however, he has a role similar to that in the French romances, in that Lancelot is the principal hero. The accidental death of Gawain's brothers at Sir Lancelot's hands caused Gawain, one of the mightiest warriors at court, to become the bitter enemy of his once greatest friend. He was mortally wounded in a fight with Lancelot who, it is said, lay for two nights weeping at Gawain's tomb. Before his death, Gawain repented of his bitterness towards Lancelot and forgave him.

The author of the late-medieval Arthurian romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is unknown. He was a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, which means that he was writing in the late fourteenth century…
