[Anguirel]

You've forced me into a devil's advocate position. I've absolutely no wish to defame Gawain. I'm retreating while I can still, ah, avoid my horse and feutre my spear passing well.

Actually, I like the Malory Gawain. He essentially shines despite the amount of libel chucked at him. And the Orkney-de Galles feud is like the best of Greek tragedies. How often I've wished Shakespeare could have written it...Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet meet...
