Topic: Agravaine


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
 [No title]
Agravaine was uncannily similar in this world, and the notion of sitting very nearly in his lap made Scully squirm in discomfort.
In moments, the knights were dismounting inside the castle walls, and Agravaine gripped her roughly around the waist, pulling her down to the ground with him.
Although Agravaine had made it clear where his loyalties resided, he appeared to have a sympathetic side, and Scully wondered how much of it she could play to her advantage.

 Agravain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Agravain or Sir Agravaine is a nephew of King Arthur and a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend.
Agravain is described as handsome and a capable fighter, but unlike his heroic brothers Gawain and Gareth, Agravain has a reputation for malice and villainy.
White, it is again Agravain, not Gaheris as in Malory, who murders their own mother, in addition to being the "bully" of the family, and killing a unicorn in their childhoods.

 Elfwood: Stories / Sandra Leigh Wagner / 'The Regent of Souls p5'
Agravaine approached the audience hall, only to be told by the guards that the Duke was still in his chambers and wished both his presence and that of the girl as soon as they had arrived.
Agravaine felt proud of his chosen men when one of them moved to block the veiled girl’s view of the corpse the moment he saw her.
Agravaine actually sighed with relief at that, rose and followed behind her as she followed the Duke, first to his chamber to fetch the box of broken pottery and glass, then to a medium-sized room, lit only by racks of candles.

 ChapterTwo
Agravaine chuckled, "and yes it was very important business; the Queen was healing me of my various battle scars." He pointed to rapidly fading bruise on his chest, and Deirdre's eyes widened with appreciation of his naked skin.
Agravaine had just finished bathing in the huge copper tub in front of the fire in his quarters and was nearly dressed for the victory feast when the knock came at his door.
Agravaine realised that whatever it was, she was not going to risk telling him whilst there were other ears around to listen and quickly sent the page on an errand.

 The Man Upstairs and Other Stories - P. G. Wodehouse - Free Online Library
Agravaine was a good deal better equipped than his contemporaries with grey matter, but his height in his socks was but five feet four; and his muscles, though he had taken three correspondence courses in physical culture, remained distressingly flaccid.
The damsel seemed preoccupied, and Agravaine's mind was a welter of confused thoughts, the most prominent of which and the one to which he kept returning being the startling reflection that he, who had pined for romance so long, had got it now in full measure.
It was dark outside, but Agravaine could distinguish a female form, and, beyond, a shapeless mass which he took correctly to be the remains of the two plug-uglies.

 Chapter12
Agravaine's head started pounding, the mere sound of her laughter, and a brief glimpse of her afflicted him, breaking his communion with the land he held so dear.
Agravaine came to the foot of the bed and stood with his hand on the richly engraved bedpost.
Agravaine took a deep breath; he would leave it to someone else to tell Arthur of Guinevere's treachery, but it was his place to argue in Ygraine's behalf.

 FREE MonkeyNotes-The Once and Future King by T.H. White-Free Online Booknotes Chapter Summary Synopsis
Agravaine is 55 and a drunk; Mordred is ageless and cold.
Agravaine cleverly points out that Mordred may have valid personal reasons for a vendetta against Arthur, but in order for a true takeover, there must be some sort of overarching political cause that will rally the masses.
Mordred and Agravaine decide to take advantage of this system: if they are to accuse the Queen and her lover of treason, they will have to be put on trial - instead of fighting against Lancelot as Midor and Meliagrance did - and they will be found guilty.

 Bastard
Indeed, I suppose it is true as well, that Gwenivere, and Lancelot, resisted their attraction for long years, struggling to remain true to husband, and to sovereign, but in the end, they betrayed him, and left me only the work of that betrayal’s revelation.
Agravaine and I taught one another pleasure, the joy of rutting, and finally, the love for any other but the flesh that bore us.
She died, and Agravaine died, and I live still: perhaps I do this for love of them as much as for hatred of the others; at least, I would like to think so.

Agravaine laughed and hit Lancelot with his right fist, knocking him onto his back, then added another blow from his left fist that split Lance's lower lip.
He endured as Agravaine and then Janus used him in turn, retreating in his mind to where he was almost disconnected from the groaning, torn creature that the others were taking.
Janus and Agravaine were trussed up under the control of Gawain and Tristan, but they were watching Lancelot take his revenge also, Janus gibbering in fear and Agravaine silent as a stone, knowing he would probably have a similar fate for what he'd done.

 Chapter Sir Agravaine of The Man Upstairs by PG Wodehouse
Ten minutes later Agravaine, still dazed, was jogging along to the hills, with the damsel by his side.
The damsel seemed preoccupied, and Agravaine’s mind was a welter of confused thoughts, the most prominent of which and the one to which he kept returning being the startling reflection that he, who had pined for romance so long, had got it now in full measure.
“Father,” said Yvonne, “this is the gallant knight Sir Agravaine, who has come to—” it seemed to Agravaine that she hesitated for a moment.

 How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth
Agravaine awoke before sunrise, on his own pallet in the great hall, from the dreamless sleep of those who have already seen more than they ever could have expected.
Agravaine moved his elbows in toward his ribs, readying for what he guessed would be a furious punch.
Agravaine stomped his way through the rocks and puddles of the basin and up the beach, and told the boy — clearly, for once in his life — "Tell my mother that her second son is home." The page dashed off.

Agravaine looped a finger under the green sash and ran it down its length, calling her attention to his official status of deputy.

 The Man Upstairs and Other Stories By P.G. Wodehouse - Chapter 17 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut
Agravaine was a good deal better equipped than his contemporaries with grey matter, but his height in his socks was but five feet four; and his muscles, though he had taken three correspondence courses in physical culture, remained distressingly flaccid.
To Agravaine's attempts to engage him in conversation he replied only with grunts, and in a short time left the room, closing and locking the door behind him.
It was dark outside, but Agravaine could distinguish a female form, and, beyond, a shapeless mass which he took correctly to be the remains of the two plug-uglies.

So these twelve knights were with Sir Mordred and Agravaine; and all they were of Scot-land, either of Sir Gawaine's kin, either well-willers of his brethren.
And then the Queen was led forth without Carlisle, and there she was despoiled unto her smock; and so then her priestly father was brought to her, to be shriven of her misdeeds.
Agravaine !" said the King, "Jesu forgive it thy soul, for thine evil will that thou and thy brother, Sir Mordred, had unto Sir Launcelot, hath caused all this sorrow." And ever, among these complaints, King Arthur wept and swooned.

Sometimes called "the Arrogant" or "the Proud," Sir Agravaine was the second son of King Lot of Orkney and/or Lothian and Queen Morgause, his wife.

The setting -- outside, in one of the little groves of trees that dot the landscape surrounding the inevitable Mansion; late as the hour is, it's as dark, cold, and uncomfortably damp as the Orkneys.
Despite this unfortunate similarity, or more likely because of it, Agravaine can be found here, practicing his fencing - with an unfortunate young pine tree - and muttering to himself under his breath the whole while - "Angsty childhood?
Don't know what they're - talking about, it - wasn't a--" the words split like firewood, punctuated by the thrusts and stabs and blows of his sword.

The next May at Carlisle Sir Agravaine and Sir Mordred made their move and with King Arthur's reluctant permission plotted to catch Launcelot and Guenever at it the next night while Arthur was away hunting.
That evening Launcelot turned up as usual for a royal shag, with no armour but his sword, and in no time was disturbed by Agravaine's gang outside the queen's door shouting traitor loud enough to wake the entire castle.
Launcelot returned to his lodging, and, realising that the game was up and that this could mean civil war, from amongst his own kin and the knights of Wales and Cornwall he treacherously recruited over a hundred knights to his side, including Bors, Ector, Lionel, Lavaine, Urre, Palomides and Bellangere le Beuse.
