Thank you Sheldon. I’ve been reading a bunch of it for the first time in my life (instead of the parody of it via Cervantes). I’ve found the King Arthur stories are at their root DEEPLY strange and bewildering and they only get weirder as they go on up from Geoffrey of Monmouth through Chretien De Troyes and Robert De Boron on into the compilations and adjustments by Thomas Mallory. Wild stuff, especially the Robert De Boron which halfway reads like apocryphal gospel crashlanding into Rosemary’s Baby and beyond
