moogey Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 SOUTHAMPTON SCREENS FILM ABOUT MEDIEVAL FOUNDER BEVOIS Ms Jenssen used historical documents recounting storytellers' accountsof Sir Bevois' adventures. They include being sold to slave merchants by his mother, ending up inthe court of the king of Armenia (Ermin) and falling in love with a princess. He reputedly returned to England to reclaim his father's land, andfounded the city of Southampton. The story has been compiled in the following link. Has anyone come across it? I hadn't. There is an anomaly in the story, but never mind, it's interesting and could lead to further discoveries about the legend/history. http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/bevisint.htmMoogey is online now Add to Moogey's Reputation Report Post Edit/Delete Message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 HUH!! Who wrote this, Beavis or Butthead?http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/teendemon93/butthead_beavis.gifWhoever the author may be, it is in the style of… both of which are styled in the Arabic fantastic epic - 1001 Nights.--The Decameron” and “The Canterbury Tales” : Common Themes in Boccaccio and Chaucer----No, no I am not on drugs, as that writer seems to be.Obviously the Armenia word as if some exotic Middle Eastern land.Look what that butthead says ; Bevis, who seems doomed, finds solace in the Armenian court of King Ermin. When the king hears the boy's woeful story, he welcomes him with the hope that one day he will become a devotee to Mohammed and carry the king's banner in battle. Even when Bevis refuses to convert, the king admires him and arranges that the boy be trained in the manner of all young Armenian warriors. When Bevis turns fifteen, his training has been completed and it is time for his first test of prowess in the field. But before an appropriate venue can be found, Bevis is goaded into a defensive attack by an insult made by one of the king's men. …HUH!!! “become a devotee to Mohammed“?? Go ahead, tell me one more time that we are the first Christian Nation?The tale seems to written in the 14th c. , and If that butthead had not heard it…. Who gave him the pen and ink? What was in that ink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was in that ink? No need to get so excited about it. Though I agree. The writer(s) did not have to listen to all the stories the Crusaders told them about Mohammedans and Pagans in those Far-off Lands. They did not have to believe every word the Crusaders said. Why could they not get on a plane and see for themselves? Or, failing that, go on the Internet for Heaven's sake. There they could have found out all they wanted, joined forums, emailed other travellers for different points of view. No, they were set in their own little world.
