Arthurian trivia
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Pellam (Pellehan) Pellam is a wounded king
who must be healed by the Grail knight. The
thirteenth-century Vulgate Estoire del Saint Graal
says that Pellehan was injured in a battle in Rome.
Since the wound would not heal until *Galahad
came to cure him, he was called the Maimed
King. According to Malory, he received his
wound from *Balin, who came to his casde seeking
to avenge a treacherous act by Pellam’s
brother *Garlon. After he had slain Garlon, Balin
searched for a weapon with which to defend
himself and found *Longinus’ spear in a room in
the castle. When he used the spear to wound
Pellam, he struck a *Dolorous Stroke and gave
Pellam a wound from which he would be healed
only by Galahad.

HAPPY MOTHER DAY!
Mordred sends a gift to Morgause
In this book:
- Arthur is kind of a jerk and he kind of had his problems coming.
- Mordred is so easy to relate to, also, deformed.
- Vivian/Dagonet OTP the King’s fool is in love and he sings the coolest songs and Vivian is a bitch and a witch but a witch with and agenda that of course fails because that’s a tragedy.
- Lancelot is also kind of a jerk
- Sir Gawain death is quite moving
This book is the reason of my totally crack obsession with a romance between Vivian and Dagonet, the King’s fool. I hope you’re happy Sir William Campbell.
I love this tragedy <3 and I’ve written a fic based on it because I am nerd like that.

Rec arthurian books
I read a lot of arthurian books but this time I am looking for books that have been recently published.
I’ll explain! As you know I live in Italy so I don’t have many occasions to buy books that have not been translated (but for the internet) and I recently got a bonus to buy some books in a library.
I can order English books but they don’t order a lot of books if the stuff is old. So I need some quite new arthurian book to order D:
Some ideas?
