| | §2. English Romances: "Havelok, Horn, Guy of Warwick, Beves of Hamtoun". XIV. Metrical Romances, 12001500. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | In Havelok and Horn, in Guy of Warwick and Beves of Hamtoun there exists primarily the viking atmosphere of tenth century England, though the sages, in their actual form, have acquired, through alien handling, a certain crusade colouring. |
 | | Sir Guy was regarded as a national hero, who, by his victory over Colbrand the Dane, had rescued England from the grip of the invader. |
 | | When he first comes on the scene, Guy is madly in love with Felice the beautiful daughter of the earl of Warwick; but his suit is denied on account of his inferiority of standing, for he is but the son of the earls steward. |
