Another thought on continuity – I have been reading a translation of Eric and Enide by Chretien de Troyes at:

and I am amazed at how similar the human experience is in terms of this romance. Poor girl from good family wins prince with her beauty and all that entails. There are lots of nice costume details in this story – my hope is to compare them to the original French, because it seems sometimes that the translators are not as clear on clothing words than say on actions or relationships. It is a cute story, so I certainly recommend reading it. I’m going to work on the others too, but I’m finding I need to pace myself!
The description of the coronation mantle at the end is most interesting. Anyone want to discuss it?
