Thanks for reading.
Sir Breuse Sans Pite is one of the most significant characters in The Once
and Future King, being the epitome of the type of chivalry Arthur is
trying to stamp out. He only attacks when he has the advantage and, according
to White, he breeds specially fast horses so if things turn against him he
runs and no one ever catches him. But in White he's entirely an
offstage character - even this encounter with Lancelot and Bliant is
related by Bliant to Pelles instead of narrated directly. You'd be surprised
reading White first, or at least I was, how little Breuse actually appears
in the Morte.
Really must work Bliant's name into dialog soon. |
