Folklore in History: Orfeo's Katabasis into Faerie
http://folkhistory.blogspot.com/2015/05/orfeos-katabasis-into-faerie.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Orfeo's Katabasis into Faerie. As Queen Heurodis slept in the shade of a tree she had a dream in which the King of Faerie appeared to her and announced his intent to steal her away to the Otherworld. The next day she slept beneath it again, this time with a well-armed guard around her, but the fairy king came and stole her away. A similar alteration affects the narrative presentation of classical material throughout the Matter of Rome. Just as Alexander the Great is presented...

Folklore in History: Lady Charlotte Guest and the remaking of Celtic mythography
http://folkhistory.blogspot.com/2015/05/lady-charlotte-guest-and-remaking-of.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Lady Charlotte Guest and the remaking of Celtic mythography. The sources known to us today which give the earliest legends known from Wales are the opening four sections of the Mabinogion. And even of the idea that there is such a book - reveals far more than just what tales were told in high medieval Wales. In the British Isles, mythological stories weren't written down until after the people had converted to Christianity. The Old Irish Lebor Gabala Erenn. Welsh material, however, ...

Folklore in History: Arthur's Unfaithful Servant
http://folkhistory.blogspot.com/2015/01/arthurs-unfaithful-servant.html
Friday, January 16, 2015. Lancelot first joins the Arthurian canon through the romances of Chretien de Troyes, who describes him as the most perfect knight who ever lived. Chretien first mentions Lancelot only in passing, as being among the knights of King Arthur's court, but later on, in Le Chevalier du Charette. Ca 1200 (and, presumably, the oral sources which inspired it), but this introduces his childhood with the Lady of the Lake and his many quests. Craig B. Daniel. I want to let you in on the dirt...

Donovan's Ramblings: Actual Sharp Swords
http://donovanshinnock.blogspot.com/2016/10/actual-sharp-swords.html

Monday, November 28, 2016. Back at St. Elegius and ahead to A&S Champions! Wow, I never wrote anything on St. Elegius! Let's take a few minutes and fix that now. Originally, I'd only intended in competing in the Art of Fencing side competition that our newest OGR (as of Court at the end of the event, and congratulations to him! In a from-scratch sense, and I think that food as an A&S entry is always a favorite - being able to directly sample the entry is wonderful on a number of levels. Frankly, I lo...
