​@@ALookIntoTheEulenspiegelSure enough colonialism has an ancient pedigree but there's a big difference in how racism played into the truly ancient past and post "Enlightenment" era of European exploration and colonization. As stated a lot of animosity between groups that used anything close to what we would recognize as racist bigotry as justification was aimed at people close by geographically speaking. You also have to take account of how diverse the populations of many of the ancient Empires and Kingdoms could be. The precursors to and the heirs of the Roman Empire alone over the course of thousands of years expanded and contracted over vast swaths of land across Europe and North Africa and most locations that touched the Mediterranean Sea. That's a grab bag of Ethnicities, Religions and social structures. Add in trade beyond borders and there's way more reason to keep ethnic based rivalry at bay for these large political powers. Even taking slavery into account it usually was not race based. It also could be a more complex situation than what Americans think with our ideas of slavery as an institution in a society usually based on our experience of it in our history. Back then while slavery could indeed encompass people taken against their will from either raids in the hinterlands or from conquest of new territory there's also evidence of people willingly entering into slavery for periods, getting essentially room and board in exchange for specialized labor of some kind, ranging from skilled construction to education of a household's children. Slavery was "multiethnic" which... It's still slavery but, it was "colorblind" so... Yay, I guess? It was a situation where many of these Empires just had a huge mix of people to administer and "slaves" came from all over. Was there chauvinistic aspects to these societies? Yeah, but it was not based on some assumptions about skin tone equating to superiority.

There was a legend of Gawain that I love and it basically was like: Some knight was claiming to kill Arthur (or was he going to kill gawain?) And he gives Arthur a riddle to solve, and Gawain was looking for the answer for the riddle, and he meets a very, VERY, *VERY* ugly (not being rude, its a plot point to the story) woman who has no luck getting married, but she knows the answer to the riddle but she would only give it to Gawain if he marries her (he necessarily want to because y'know, ugly), he did and he tells the riddle to Arthur who then tells it to the knight and the doesn't kill Arthur (it turns out that he and the woman might be siblings). Gawain got married (and was teased by his fellow knights) and he and his wife went to bed and then, *THE WOMAN TURNS BEAUTIFUL, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS,* the woman told him that she was cursed (I think she was ugly at day and beautiful at night?) And something about the curse has something to do with marriage (I don't know the specifics), Gawain now has the choices of his wife being ugly at morning and beautiful at knight, or beautiful at day and ugly at night. I don't remember what Gawain said, but I think he wanted to love her for her and not her appearance and BOOM she is permanently beautiful, because the true condition to her curse is to have a knight for a husband who truly loves her. (P.s I haven't read this story in years so I might be wrong about a lot of things, and I don't know if it's even part of the Original legends.)

Had an idea for a Manga epic based in Arthurian myth but I shot it down. It'd mainly focus on Gawain, Ferefeiz, Galehaut, Dinadan and Gareth going about doing knightly stuff near the beginning of Launcelot and Geinevere's little escapade. Hell, I even had the udea to change the story and have Arthur morbidly and Depressingly follow through with the law after Galahad is revealed and bears shame from his parent's betrayal (yeah, it' be a whole thing of him being raised by a benevolent group of Fae but that was another thing.) Even have it to where Arthur could barely rule the kingdom after executing his wife and best friend; barely able to move from the throne.

Galehaut refused a crown until he could conquer Arthur's kingdom. Galehaut is also the one who help set up Lancelot and Guenevere. Playing the long game I see, you clever half giant.

Honestly I love Gawain's story because he serves as an excellent foil to the other knights. In a group filled with such (apparent) paragons as Lancelot, Percival, and Gallahad, and with other knights with things like great humor and special powers and romantic feeling, Gawain is refreshingly grounded and relatable to the audience. Even though he is deeply flawed, he always tries his best to do what is right and live up to the ideals of Camelot. Frankly I'm surprised more Arthur-inspire series haven't had Gawain as the main character, or at least the audience point-of-reference character.

He is not deeply flawed. His only stumble in the basically impossible task was hiding the girdle. The poem makes sure to describe his virtues as impeccable. But even someone like him isn't perfect, and it's fine. Gawain is a foil to other knights specifically for not having their major flaws - and that kind of makes him boring. Still not as vanilla as Gary Stu Galahad. Also Gawain is described as the youngest knight of the round table AND second-strongest after Arthur, and has the OTHER sword from the Lady of the Lake, Galatine, which holds the power of the sun (Excalibur has the power of the Earth and moon for some reason). He also is the worst damn boss in the Camelot singularity! xD

After hearing the Dinadan-Lancelot story, I can only imagine Lancelot is either kind of androgynous in appearance or we can add surprisingly good at makeup to his list of things he's great at.

My favorite Gawain story, more so than the Green Knight, is Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady (or Dame Ragnelle, depending on the retelling). It's actually an Arthur-ized retelling of an old folktale, that showed up as the Wife of Bath's Tale in Canterbury Tales. A Black Knight blocks Arthur's path in the forest (sound familiar?) and tells him his life is forfeit unless he can answer, in (a day/a month/a year) the riddle: what does every woman want? Arthur asks every woman he knows, from his queen to his serving maids, but gets different answers. But just as he's about to admit defeat, he meets an ugly hag in the forest, who tells him she'll give him the answer if he promises her that one of his knights will marry her of his own free will. So, when the Black Knight confronts Arthur again, Arthur has the answer ready: every woman wants the right to make her own decisions! The Black Knight disappears in a puff of smoke, and Arthur is relieved...except for that little matter that one of his knights will have to marry this horrible-looking woman. But when he breaks the news to his knights, Sir Gawain volunteers, and the wedding proceeds. Gawain steels himself for the wedding night...but when he enters the bedchamber, waiting for him is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She explains that when she refused the Black Knight's hand in marriage, he cursed her to remain an ugly hag until an honest knight agreed to marry her. Now she will only be ugly for half the day, so which would he prefer--at night, when they are alone together, or during the day, when she will be seen by others? Gawain finally tells her it's up to her, unknowingly applying the truth of the riddle: the right to make her own decisions. With that, the spell is broken completely and permanently, and they live happily ever after.

You're actually an Assholes and Stereotype Enforcers (A&SE) nerd. Nothing about Dungeons and Dragons says that your rogue has to be a no-gooder bandit, or that your warrior has to make a down-to-earth warrior look like Superman in terms of power diversity, or that your barbarian has to be as dumb as a rock, or that your bard has to be Zeus. Zeus would be a sorcerer (is a god because of the Titans) or warlock (got his thunderbolts from the Cyclopes), for the sake of Kronos!

The real tragedy is that if Galehaut had just confessed his feelings for Lancelot, perhaps none of the bad stuff would have even happened.

I think another side of Morgan Le Fay's Green Knight plot was that she expected nobody who accepted the challenge would go through with it and she'd then be able to destroy Arthur's rep by claiming the Knights of the Round Table were all oath-breaking cowards. Since having a good PR was really important to anyone with social status when the poem was written, this makes a lot of sense.

Mind you apparently it was a insensitive joke about one of the other knights who had recently died, but honestly if someone violently murders the comic relief character that's usually a sign you've found your villain.

I have to disagree on Gawain being a minor character. He’s part of the oldest versions in the Welsh corpus and there’s a significant number of Middle English romances where he’s the main character; the Green Knight one is only the best remembered one nowadays. He’s super important in the Perceval continuations, and it’s only starting with the Vulgate cycle that his star begins to wane because of Lancelot.

Great video, except for the comments on Gawain. There are three reasons why he’s special: one, he’s related to Arthur, giving him an important lineage. When he volunteers to fight the Green Knight, he actually quotes this as a reason why he wants to fight, he wants more of a claim to fame than being related to Arthur. Second, he was exceptionally chivalrous, which is why the tale is about him failing in his chivalry, Gawain was the representation of nobility. Third, Gawain was a Knight for the people. While most knights used swords to fight, an expensive and difficult weapon to master, Gawain used an axe, a common item for the peasant class in the Middle Ages.

The version of the story I heard about the green knight stated that the Green Knight chose Arthur for the test, but Gawain took his place because Arthur was still a boy at this point, and could barely lift the axe, whereas Gawain was a grown man so he reasoned that it would be a fairer contest. This is why I’ve always like Gawain the most, because he is the ordinary knight amongst the perfect paragons.

Honestly gawain is kinda interesting if you look at him from the angle of someone with anger issues, or not knowing when to quit. His first major story had him accidently Killing a woman because he was going to kill a knight who had yielded. This knight was one gawain had been hunting for months and he wasn't going to let him go. This left gawain in shock after he killed her. There is also his hatred for lancelot after lance killed some of his brothers saving guinevere. He tried and tried to defeat him till he eventually dies.

Both Gawain and Lancelot both seem to share the same flaw of have short tempers and entering berserker rages while fighting. Though when it comes to the latter flaw, Lancelot certainly has the worse since I think there are many battles where it mentions he accidently kills innocents in the middle of a fury, while Gawain, especially after the incident of killing the women, seems have learned to focus his battle rage against his foes (at least from what I remember since I don't recall any other big incident where he killed another innocent). Come to think of it, this makes it all the weirder that most modern Arthurian works seem to forget or just ignore this when it comes to Lancelot (Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the only work that I can think of from the top of my head that remembers his bloodthirsty berserker tendency, with the whole rushing and slaughtering a lot of people at a wedding). Though I suppose in the "sanitized" retelling of the stories you can't show off your heroic knights in shining armor as being crazed battlers.

Gawain is probably the most ubiquitous Arthurian knight; he just gets the short end of the stick in adaptations.

I mean, Kay went from being able to breathe underwater for 9 days and nights, sleep for nine days and nights, grow to treetop height, radiate enough heat from his hands to keep his friends from freezing, etc. to not even being in this video.

Gawain is the best. In most of the mythos he is Arthur's heir prior to Mordred's arrival along with Arthur's best knight. He acts as a foil to both Mordred and Lancelot, an exemplar of their failings: Mordred's lack of virtue and Lancelot's lack of Loyalty are even more apparent in comparison.

Of all the knights that could have gotten a movie deal, Sir Gawain is the last one I expected. And I am so happy!

My favorite Gwain story was a short one where he basically got in a duel with another knight, to the death. When the other knight went to strike, Gwain stopped him and took off the sash/girder so that he wasn't "cheating" despite no rules against magical items having been placed forth. The other knight forfeits the duel on the grounds of what basically amounts to; you're a good person, and I like you more than half the knights here so I'm not hurting you. As thanks Gwain's demand for winning the dual is to have a meal with the nameless knight, and they become bros.

Ladies and gents, I found the Medieval time-traveller!!!

I have to admit that Gawain happens to be one of my preferred knights since he was one of the few that was meant to being the most "human" in a sense. Sure people cannot live up to the what their role is supposed to be and let their emotions get the better of them. I know its strange since I am defending a loose cannon, but that is how I feel about the guy. Plus, he knew that he wasn't as important as King Arthur and that general sense of bravery to face a danger that would rather go to someone above Gawain in rank. I used to think that Courage and Stupidity are different concepts since self-preservation is something I never blame a living being. So to willingly offer one's life in the place of another, its something that sticks out for me. For Middle English literature, nothe modern interpretation for self sacrifice.

Recognizing that most of this literature is centuries old, and thus somewhat prone to being a primitive base work, I believe that's exactly how you're SUPPOSED to feel about Gawain. In essence, he's part of the origins of the "everyman" hero, so his story is intended to inspire the rest of us to rise to our own greatness, whatever that might be, in spite of our own inequities and short-comings. The green knight has some Loric background, probably Celtic, but represents "the thing that most terrifies". Summoning up his courage, not just to take the initial risk in Arthur's place, but again to seek out the Green Knight for the honorable conclusion, Gawain demonstrates the highest value of nobility... NOT that he's so pure of heart, or fearless, or valiant by rote, but that he's an honest man who tries, and faces what most terrifies him... The minor cut, as confusing or confounding as it might seem, is to say, that once you step up to face it, fear tends to turn out far less than you'd expect. I've long enjoyed the Gawain story, particularly for the multiple layers and facets of its moral premise and foundation. For an earlier English work, it's profoundly well done, all things considered. ;o)

... And the aptly named, "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film."

I have no idea that Arthurian legends are so wholesome and fanfic-like/DnD-like. I think I like them more than the greek myths.

On the subject of Knights you didn’t get to, I saw a Tumblr post about how people were complaining about how anime the knights get in modern stories. The poster pointed out than in the original stories, just to give a few examples; Bedivere openly practiced magic and Arthurs intervention was the only thing that stopped him from being hanged for witchcraft (TWICE, I might add!). Kay could hold his breath for 10 days, emit supernatural heat from his hands, and grow to the size of a giant. Merroc was a werewolf! (You actually briefly mentioned that in your werewolf video last year, Red). The post ended with the conclusion that modern versions of the knights aren’t anime ENOUGH.

Because of this video my sister and I have been discussing at length that you could very easily write a T.V. series about King Arthur and his knights’ adventures through the perspective of Gawain. The basic framework is: Gawain is not nearly as good or knightly as the other members of the round table, but he did some heroic act to save his town or something while Arthur and some knights were passing through so they allowed him into the round table. The show follows the knights and Arthur going on their many quests, while Gawain attempts to become a better knight and more respected member of the round table. (We drew up and entire storyboard and plot afterwords that mostly follows the established myths with various twists to fit the narrative, but eventually diverges into our own story. Major plot points include the death of Dinadan, a cursed Excalibur, and an explanation for the lady of the lake, who may or may not be the grandiose puppet master villain who orchestrated Lancelot’s “betrayal” of Arthur and the ultimate civil war with Mordred)

You know, I've always theorized that the Lady of the Lake might be the true villain of the the Arthurian Legends. So it's nice to see someone think that might be possible. Like Excalibur is actually a "key" of sorts that she needs a mortal to wield to escape the lake or something. And maybe Avalon is a lock that seals her. I don't know, but yeah a series with Gawain as the lead is a nice change of pace.

I'd highly recommend reading The Squire's Tale. It's an excellent series that is a fun retelling mostly from the perspective of Gawain's squire. Although it makes Gawain a lot cooler than he appears to be in this video, so it might not line up with your idea much.

"We're Knights of the Round Table. We dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes With footwork impeccable. We dine well here in Camelot. We eat ham and jam and spam a lot. We're Knights of the Round Table. Our shows are formidable, But many times we're given rhymes That are quite unsingable. We're opera mad in Camelot. We sing from the diaphragm a lot. In war we're tough and able, Quite indefatigable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It's a busy life in Camelot. I have to push the pram a lot."

My favorite knight is Sir Palemedes who has to my knowledge never been portrayed on screen but he has been in a lot of the books post vulgate. Hes a Saracen pagan who is evenly matched with Tristan and is obsessed with Lady Isolde. He also goes on a lifelong hunt for the questing beast. Basically he's an expansion pack on the Tristan and Isolde story and him and his two brothers become knights of the round table. I portrayed him a few times at my local medieval faire

Feirefiz seems like a pretty cool guy. A biracial dude leading African/Middle Eastern forces (so "Saracens") who's a competent fighter and noble person, is related to another character, and ends up being a pretty good addition to Authur's court. It's all a little too chill for Medieval Europe that I'm kind of worried there's a story out there that ruins his character.

I just finished an in-depth episode on symbolism in the Holy Grail story, and your videos were a fantastic help! You’re absolutely right that Arthurian legend is very intimidating at first because of how varied it is. This show helped me realize that, for my purposes, Mallory was the best resource for me. Thank you for that!

Galehaut is now officially my favorite knight of the round table. Though Perceval having a bi-racial half brother he was on good terms with is also pretty cool

I have the same problem but I watch this video at school

Red left out what happened when Gawain returned. His fellow knights didn't hold it against him either for, at least how I see it, three reasons. 1. He came back alive! He left to get his head lopped off; I'm certain they were glad that he returned, mostly, alright! 2. As Red said, he tried. 3. Had any of them been in his shoes, would they have done any different? From then on, Arthur and his knights wore green sashes not just as a reminder of Gawain's journey, but as a reminder to be honest. The themes of humility and camaraderie are evident. It shows that the whole notion of striving for perfection knowing we won't achieve it isn't pointless as it encourages us to do our best because there is always room for improvement. It also shows that we don't have to go it alone; true friends will stand by each other and one will help the other up when they stumble.
