Legends Summarized: Arthur's Knights

"Galehaut's mother is a giantess..." "And his father?" "Brave. Very, very brave."

In the version I read, when Gawain returns, everyone is so impressed with his story and want to make him not feel bad, so they all cut themselves and get matching neck scars like the one the green knight gave him. Metal.

3:31 Got to say, I love how this writer person who doesn't even know what a bi-racial person looks like, still wrote this foreign knight to be one and also to be super cool, strong and adored by the entire court. That is so unexpected for someone from so far back.

"So Feirefiz has black And white skin" He's a little confused but he got the spirit

I always felt that Gawain marked the transition from "idealized self-insert male fantasy knights" to "flawed everyman with relatable human drama.

Headcanon: gawain's superpower is that he's really good at kissing, the green knight was gonna kill him but after six of those bad boys how could he kill him.

"Your romance WILL be the stuff of fairy tales." "Is that a promise or an ultimatum?" "YES."

Red : Sir Gawain is probably the most boring of the Arthurs well-known knights/ also Red : gives Gawain a third of video's time

“Lancelot get out of the castle” “You’re not my king” “Lancelot I am your king now get out this instance” “I am in a castle and you are not” “Lancelot get down here” “Shan’t”

“Lancelot get down here!” ”S H A N T”

So, according to Wikipedia, Galehaut died in solitude, longing for Lancelot. Eventually, when Lancelot died, he was buried next to Galehaut. I don't know how to handle this.

Green Knight: heh, I bet this guy will sleep with my wife and lie about it. Gawain: only barely kisses his wife in order to be polite but also maintain honor Green Knight: huh. Maybe I won't decapitate him?

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.

I just love the idea of a big, strapping knight being swept off his feet by a massive half-giant who thinks of him as a precious and dainty little creature.

The real "Best Knight" in Arthurian Legend is Galehaut's father, bedding a Giantess. Absolute champion, truly an inspiration for all.

It kind of scares me that Lancelot is so good at taking full on KNIGHTS off of horses while wearing a dress. How often does he do this? When did he learn how to do that? WHY

"unlock with premium christianity" lol

Dinadan is probably my favorite knight because he’s just like “why am I here?” “Should I really be a knight?” “Eh whatevs, I’ll just prank everybody.”

"What is there to say about Gawain?" 1. He took part in the Quest of the White Hart, the first of the Round Table quests along with Sir Tor, a cow farmer's son who became a knight when he killed a monstrous lion before the whole court with only a sword and no armor, and Sir Pellinor, who was the first of Arthur's enemies to become his friend. 2. His title was "The Knight Who Served All Women". 3. He was the first of his five brothers to swear allegiance to King Arthur, the last being Sir Gaheris. 4. He fought against eight robber knights and struck all of them dead except one who pleaded for mercy. 5. He married one of the Nine Ladies of Avalon (Ragnall).

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.
