- Description
- In the prose "Tristan" and Malory's "Morte d'Arthur," no single knight embodies all attributes of the courtly ideal. Similarly, Chaucer's complete depiction of the idealized knight is created through the description of GP Knight in combination with characters in KnT, SqT, and FranT.
