"The Song of Roland" was always coming up in my French class. I get nostalgic for a type of chivalry that I suspect never really existed outside of the dreams of romantics...
ReplyDeleteGabriel, you'll have to read my new novel which will be released on the 15th of this month. I explore the nature of chivalry a lot, with good knights and bad knights, some striving for the ideal and some not at all.
