ARTHURIAN STUDIES LXVII
MARRIAGE, ADULTERY, AND
INHERITANCE IN
MALORY’S
MORTE DARTHUR
Marriage in the Middle Ages involved two crucial but sometimes
conflicting dimensions: it was a private companionate relationship and a
public social institution, the means whereby heirs were produced and land,
wealth, power, and political rule were transferred. This new study exam-
ines the concept of marriage as seen in the
Morte Darthur,
moving beyond it
to look at ‘adulterous’ and other male/female relationships, and their
impact on the world of the Round Table. Key points addressed are the
compromise achieved in the ‘Tale of Sir Gareth’ between natural, youthful
passion and the gentry’s pragmatic view of marriage; the problems of King
Arthur’s marriage in light of both political need and the queen’s infertility
and adultery; and the repercussions of Launcelot’s adultery in the tragedies
of two marriageable daughters, Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbin. The
author reveals and considers in detail the myth of benevolent paternity by
which men, whether born legitimate or bastard, were united through the
Round Table and concludes by focusing on dynastic dysfunction in three
generations of Pendragon men: Uther, Arthur and Mordred.
