Title: From the homework Viscount Sir Alvar de Cadiz assigned me.
Post by: Thorsteinn on 2012-04-06, 03:29:25
A knight from another land who had come to live in our kingdom found himself increasingly dismayed by the behavior of our chivalry. Finally, he offered his complaints to a gathering of the chivalry, and ended his comments by asking, "And after all, what do you want to be, an authentic medieval knight, or...or...Sir Lancelot?" The knights and masters-at-arms of the kingdom looked at one another, then back at the stranger knight, and one answered, "Sir Lancelot."

Good answer. :) Besides, by striving to be Sir Lancelot, in a way you would be following the footsteps of authentic historical knights, since they too were inspired by Arthurian tales.

And don't forget he'll be obligated to enter in to an adulterous relationship with your king's wife then!  ;D

Wait... how many of them responded "Sir Lancelot"?  Oh boy, that could be a lot of separate affairs on the queen's part. I hope she has some stamina. :)

I'd rather be Sir Gawaine...good hearted, but flawed and slightly jealous.  It is my belief that Gawaine blew the whistle because he wanted the Queen for himself, in his deepest thoughts.  ;)

That sounds like an exchange that would be appropro in Your Highness...which, as dumb as it was, was also kind of funny, in a boorish sort of way.  Hey, Natalie Portman strips down to her skivvies and takes a bath...what movie?  lol
