Bois-Guilbert is my choice!

You go, Rita! Glad to see you made it here!

The templar Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, why do you think that modern women are so drawn to this seemingly macho man?

Speaking of Arthur, anyone interested in discussing Tennyson's-" The Passing of Arthur". Thanks!!!!

Maybe Bois-Guilbert flies in the face of the sensitive 90's man who's taken Iron John training & discovered his inner child... I confess I haven't read IDYLLS OF THE KING since high school -- I'm much better acquainted with Mallory. But please, by all means, discuss away! Maybe someone else can pick up the ball... BTW, if you have any on-line friends interested in the M.A., please let them know about this Board. I added it to Yahoo on Friday.

Can I register a vote for Rebecca over Rowena? I did think Rowena deserved Ivanhoe, only because I thought he rather deserved something a little insipid.

Ha! Yeah, she did come across as pretty but rather vapid, didn't she? Whereas Rebecca is intelligent, gifted, sensitive, ethical, AND beautiful. Now who would YOU choose?
