Topic: Palamedes (Arthurian legend)


  
 Palamedes (Arthurian legend) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palamedes, (also called Palamede, Palomides or some other variant) was a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend.
Palamedes first appears in the Prose Tristan, an early 13th century prose expansion of the Tristan and Iseult legend.
Some stories reveal Palamedes' background: his father was a king of Babylon who is sent to Rome where he saves the life of the Emperor; he then travels to Britain where he rescues and befriends King Pellinore.

We can assume the linking of the grail legend to Arthur is of a similar nature, since early accounts of Arthur never mentioned anything other than him being some sort of war leader, not a mythical king in search of holy artifacts.
Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur (15th century) was the work in which the Arthurian legend appears in the form we know today, with Merlin, the grail, the round table and Camelot all thrown in.
Also in inspiration of this legend, "a combination of jousting, feasting and dancing" called a Round Table was performed as an organized activity in conscious imitation of King Arthur and his court during the late Middle Ages.

This dialogue essentially defines the relationship between the seminal French Arthurian romances and the cultures which received and transformed them, and the corpus of romances in each language (Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Occitan, German, Dutch, the Scandinavian languages, Welsh, and English) presents a distinct variant or variants of the figure of Gawain.

In the legend of King Arthur, the Round Table was a mystical table in Camelot around which King Arthur and his knights sat to discuss matters crucial to the security of the realm.
Since not even a picture of the round table remains from the time that Arthur is said to have reigned, the whole matter is one of total speculation.
The first recorded instance of this activity was in 1223, when the crusader lord of Beirut held one in Cyprus to celebrate the knighting of his eldest sons.

Od the NOrman invasion, and the effects the spread of knightly chivalry etc had on things, since for example, many celtic legends in "teh mabinogion" written down about 800 years ago I think, show many signs of being altered to suit the newer culture, despite the main parts of the story being the same.
