do BBC Merlin fans even know the story of Sir Galehault the half giant? the most under-appreciated Arthurian tragedy? literally Lancelot’s gay little adventure before he falls in love with Guinevere? with themes of love and loyalty and sacrifice? bc i feel like y’all would like it

#i know the overlap between fans of bbc merlin and fans of various arthurian legend is smaller than you would think #HOWEVER this one stands alone and sorry but Galehault is my favorite of the legendary characters #its not a very happy ending for galehault tho spoiler alert (for a 13th century tale lmfao) he gives up lancelot to guinevere and then #dies of heartbreak so like.#BUT its a great tragedy if you like being sad which i know bbc merlin fans do 😌#its from the vulgate cycle or the lancelot grail cycle whatever u want to call it #i know theres a full french version on the internet archive but idk where u would find a translation maybe check a library #merlin #bbc merlin #mine #arthurian legend #galehault
