		Sir Yvain is based on King Owein of North Rheged, the historical son and successor of King Urien, who lived in the late 6th century.

	Sir Gawain

	Arthurian Trilogy
		To make it possible for Yvain, Arthur's closest relative of the four, to draw the sword from the stone, the king shaves his head and has Vivian knit the hair into a glove for Yvain to wear, incorporating magic knots and charms into the weaving.
		Each learns a lesson about him or herself: Yvain to give up leadership and to trust others' decision-making; Dagonet to give up all his hidden tools and tricks; Vivian that her magic lies within herself and not solely within the goddess she relies on; and Alyne learns to lead.
		Sir Yvain: Son of Sir Owein, whom Chrtien de Troyes made famous as the Knight of the Lion; grandson to Morgan le Fey and King Uriens.

		Somehow, it would have worked out better if Sir Tor and Sir Percivale were the only sons of King Pellinore, since they clearly took their father's coat of arms and changed the tincture of the charges or of both the field and the charges.
		His son, Sir Tristram has been depicted as bearing a variety of coats of arms, but by the time the references Pastoureau used were written, it was agreed among heralds, artists, and writers that Sir Tristram bears Vert, a lion rampant Or.
		Another unusual practice was the devisal of field-only coats of arms for the fathers of prominent characters like Sir Dinadan and Sir Tristram after their sons had coats of arms with charged fields ascribed to them, as opposed to the other practice of the father bearing the same coat of arms as the son.

	English at Trent - EN315
		We will however begin with the haunting tale of "Sir Orfeo" from outside the Arthurian tradition but a fine introduction to Middle English, and then proceed to "Ywain and Gawain" which reworks the material behind Chretien's Yvain, into the English of the earlier fourteenth century and focuses on male comradeship.
		Beginning in January, we will spend six weeks examining Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which resembles the Inglewood Forest tales in that it was written in the North-West Midlands, but it is in a specific Middle English dialect and comes from an earlier period, around the end of the fourteenth century.
		Compare the relationship of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to that of "Sir Gawain and the Carl of Carlisle", focusing on the tests in each tale.
