Thanks for reading.
In the sources it's not Tristram's estates that Guenevere and Lancelot retire
to during the False Guenevere's reign. It's Galehaute's realm in Serleuse. In
AKOTAS, however, Galehaute is years dead. But - in AKOTAS -
Tristram's story has just now arrived (partly by design, if "I noticed a few
months ago that the timing could be worked out" constitutes "partly by
design") at the point when Tristram and Isolde shack up in a castle instead
of in a hut in the woods. In one of the sources I've read, perhaps a quite
modern one for all I recall for certain, the castle is Tristram's and is
called Dolorous Gard, but is later owned by Lancelot, and becomes the Joyous
Gard that comes into the end of Arthur's story. In the version of Malory that
I carry around, it's just Lancelot's Joyous Gard from the start. But I like
the other version better.
The next episode in Tristram's timeline in Malory is the only appearance in Malory by Galehaute, the tournament at Serleuse. I'm still thinking about a workaround for that. But I can't very well leave out what Robert Graves called the only comic episode in the whole Morte (though I wonder what he thought the exchange between Gawaine and Sir Priamus was). |
