Clan de Galis! I quite enjoy Lamorak, especially in the context of the Great Pendragon Campaign, an effort by one mad game designer to put all Arthurian legend into one consistent timeline. Lamorak ends up riding across Britain in the days of Uther and later the Anarchy in search of his father, King Pellinore, who has all but abandoned his kingdom to ruin in search of the Questing Beast. In this way, he ends up being an early model of the knight errant which will become so popular in Arthur's day. Since making up this timeline also means many events get spread out over many consecutive years, the Campaign book also elects to make Lamorak the champion of the Round Table in its early days (making good use of those nods to him being one of the greatest of Arthur's knights), while admitting he is surpassed later by younger knights such as Lancelot and Tristram. I'd consider looking to it as a sourcebook when coming up with one's own definitive version of the legends, as I've yet to see a more comprehensive effort out there.
I follow Malory's version, that paints Lamorak as being one of the strongest knights. I also found it rather strange to paint the Orkney brothers in an unfavorable light, but perhaps the truth is somewhere in between.
My interpretation regarding the treatment of the Orkney Brothers by Malory is that he wanted his heroes to be pre-eminent in the story, and to do so, he diminished or distorted the Sons of Orkney to do so.
Arthurian legend has got to be the best mythology out there. So much more intereesting than I thought.
Yeah, i too love arthurian legend. I think that they blend real history and the sensibilities of the time period together very well.
I listen to this every morning they come out. They are nice and calming for me. Love them!
Glad you like them!
Great video. Very interesting takes.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I read a book about Sir Lamorak once. He seemed to be a decent knight.
Yeah, he is in some of my favorite Arthurian Legend Stories.
