Before Arthur, There was Uther. Before Lancelot, There was Balin The Savage. Before the Holy Grail could be found...it had to be lost. Balin grows up revering the memory of his father, a storied knight of the High King Uther's time. He is held back from following in his footsteps by his mother, a priestess of the old religion whose capitol is the Isle of Avalon. When she is burned at the stake as a witch by fanatics, Balin blames the corrupting influence of Avalon and sets himself against all that is pagan. A new high king arises; Arthur, whose rule must unite pagan and Christian alike. Sir Balin, now known as The Savage for his ferocity in battle, answers the king's call for champions, but in his heart, questions the presence of the shadowy wizard Merlin beside the throne. When a vengeful enchantress comes to Camelot bearing a cursed sword that will make Balin the greatest knight in all Albion, but doom him to slay his beloved king, Balin sets out on a long quest that will veer between God and glory, love and madness, justice and revenge, and change the land forever.

"The portrayal of women in this romance is particularly intriguing and should provoke animated discussions of medieval women's roles. . . . The existence of this translation should incite scholars to investigate the romance more thoroughly."--Wendy Pfeffer, University of Louisville "Arthur and Corbett are the first to look seriously at this poem for almost a century. Because of their translation, it will be studied by scholars and taught in the classroom. . . . The translation . . . is a gem. Elegant, lively, witty, eminently readable, it captures perfectly the spirit of the original."--William Calin, University of Florida The first translation into English of this 13th-century French epic poem of adventure and romance in King Arthur's court should have appeal far beyond its core reference market. It adds another--French--dimension to the Arthurian legend, and it introduces a "lost" text to a late-20th-century audience of scholars and lay readers. Some specialists in Old French may be aware of the existence of the poem but unfamiliar with its contents. The mere existence of a translation will be sufficient to provoke a spate of articles and critical studies. Li Chevaliers as deus Espees is an excellent example of the quintessential medieval European genre, the "adventure romance." It makes creative use of the set of motifs and themes common to the genre, and extends their range in a way that provokes readers to consider a variety of questions concerning the nature of medieval knighthood, the duties and privileges of knights and their lords, and the roles open to women in a feudal society. As an imaginative poem filled with scenes of medieval life, as a lively exponent of the Arthurian genre, or as reflection of the aristocratic mentality of the landed class in 13th-century France, The Knight of the Two Swords simply deserves to be better known; a reading of it will amply repay the curious student, the literary scholar, and the lover of medieval culture. In addition to its expected audience of scholars and teachers of Old French literature, this book will appeal to general readers fascinated by everything medieval or Arthurian. Ross G. Arthur is professor of humanities at York University in Ontario. He is the author of Medieval Sign Theory and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the translator of Three Arthurian Romances from Medieval France: Caradoc, The Knight with the Sword, The Perilous Graveyard, Amadas and Ydoine, and Jaufre: A Proven�al Arthurian Romance. Noel L. Corbett is associate professor of French at York University in Ontario, Canada. He is the editor of Vie de Saint Louis and the author of Langue et identit�.

Sir Balin is a character in the Arthurian legend. He could have been King Arthurs best and bravest knight at one time. He was a knight before the Round Table was formed, While the king is virile and strong at the beginning of his reign, Balin was a poor knight to start. His destiny is sealed by the arrival of a mysterious damsel bearing a sword that only the most virtuous knight in King Arthur's court will be able to draw which Balin draws with ease. He is so good at combat, he got into trouble several times. Eventually, he is killed in combat against his brother fulfilling a prophecy about the destiny of one who bears the damsel's sword. This book is a revised edition of Malory's book of the 15th century. This edition retains the chapters of Malory's Volume I, Book III and an attempt has been made to retain his work while making it easier for the reader to follow the story using modern English and updated spelling. It is hoped that the reader will agree.

The Resplendent image of the medieval knight is concentrated in the symbolism of his sword. The straight, two-edged, cross-hilted knightly sword of the European middle ages was an object of vital importance, a lethal weapon on the battlefield and a badge of chivalry in that complex social code. Ewart Oakeshott draws on his extensive research and expert eye (and hand, for he has a special sense for the feel of a sword) to develop a typology for and recount the history of the sword, from the knightly successors of the Viking weapon to the emergence of the Renaissance sword - that is, roughly from 1050 to 1550. Within this time-span, two distinct groups of swords successively evolved. Problems of dating are acute, and evidence is adduced from literature and art as well as from archaeology, for a sword (or some parts of a sword) could have been in use several generations after it first saw battle. To deal with such overlap, Ewart Oakeshott develops, refines and illustrates a detailed typology of swords which takes in entire swords, pommel-forms, cross-guards, and the grip and scabbard.
