The brave Sir Lancelot
Princess Arthur – Mordred. I didn’t like this one at first as much as Gawain or Galahad’s but it ended out really well!

Gawain and the Green Knight
I am weakest of your warriors and feeblest of wit; loss of my life would be least lamented. Were I not your nephew my life would mean nothing; to be born of your blood is my body’s only claim.
Just a reminder–we currently have on display an exhibit of handwritten and handmade materials. Come check out these marvels of penmanship and artistry!
The exhibit will be open for one more month–we look forward to seeing you! In the meantime, check out this manuscript which beautifully details the heraldry of the court of King Arthur.

Why do I set out this wintry way? Yuletide last, a year ago, yet it seems like yesterday. Wealth and well being of all the world were mine. Rich revel, royal merriment, the noblest nights beneath God’s heaven, the loveliest Ladies that ever lived. Fairest folk in our first youth on earth. The comeliest King was ever crowned.
There’s a lot of flashbacks before Gawain gets to Bertilak’s castle. The party looks great and I like the tapestries.
I thought it was funny that Gawain takes the chicken foot out of his soup. What an ungrateful guest! If he treated his hair better, he ought to have used some bread to sop up some soup.
