 Stanzaic Guy of Warwick: Introduction
Guy joins the poor men fed by Felice at the gates of Warwick Castle and one day is among thirteen invited to eat alongside her.
The Stanzaic Guy of Warwick is preceded in the manuscript by a couplet Guy of Warwick (folios 108ra-146vb), a romance that deals with the early years of Guy's life, from his childhood role as cupbearer to the earl of Warwick through the subsequent years in which he proves his prowess as a military champion.
Guy's preparedness for this final pilgrimage is built into the structure of the narrative: there is a gradual decreasing of movement at each stage, and each of Guy's journeys is shorter than the last.
