A Bit of Arthurian Amusement

So, I seem to recall someone was saying they wanted to do some King Arthur fantasy, but were having problems finding all the sources they wanted. Here’s a new vid I ran across, that suggests we shouldn’t just look at Western Europe when we’re trying to piece together Arthur’s ‘verse. 

Was an Arthurian Knight Inspired by a Hungarian King? Medieval DOCUMENTARY

From one of the video’s comments, about Lazlo: “He was not a hard man to find on a battle field. According to chronicles he was two heads taller than the average man and had a two-handed axe as his favored weapon of choice.”

...Yeah, that kind of guy would stand out.

So. If the theory in the vid is accurate, the Lancelot tales of the saga are royally commissioned RPF insert fics. Who says you’ll get nowhere writing fanfic, hmm?

I also find it so, so relatable that Chretien finally said, “Nope, I’m out; someone else can pick up this abandoned work,” after he was commissioned for the canon-breaking cheating relationship. There are some things no sane writer can do.

And in case you haven’t run across them, Red at Overly Sarcastic Productions also has some good stuff on King Arthur and his loyal knights!

I’d never heard of Feirefiz in particular before, and his bit in the story is Really Cool.

And for general use,

How to Do Research As for books to recommend... I remember reading a collection of King Arthur stories as a kid, but I don’t remember the title! You might look into Roman and post-Roman British history if you want sources for what we think the historical origin of the legendary king must have been. Osprey Publishing books are generally very well researched, I think they've got at least two you can check out!
