Medieval Romance
• Medieval Romances describe in a general way what the word means when applied to medieval stories. The basic material of medieval romance is knightly activity and adventure; we might best define medieval romance as a story of adventure--fictitious, frequently marvelous or supernatural--in verse or prose. Early romances in English are in verse, such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

The Pentangle
• A symbol of truth, the star has five points that link and lock with each other, forming what is called the endless knot.
• Each line of the pentangle passes over one line and under one line, and joins the other two lines at its ends.

Pentagram/Pentangle
• Generally interchangeable.• In Early Christian Times (as in Sir Gawain and
the Green Knight) it represented many things including Christ’s 5 wounds (2 wrist, 2 ankle and 1 side)
• The English warrior Sir Gawain, a nephew of King Arthur, adopted the pentagram as his personal symbol and placed it on his shield. – It appeared in gold on a red background. The five
points symbolized "the five knightly virtues - generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety."

The Pentangle • The pentangle symbolizes the virtues to
which Gawain aspires: – to be faultless in his five senses; – never to fail in his five fingers; to be faithful to
the five wounds that Christ received on the cross;
– to be strengthened by the five joys that the Virgin Mary had in Jesus (the Annunciation, Nativity, Resurrection, Ascension, and Assumption)
– to possess brotherly love, courtesy, piety, and chastity.

– The side of the shield facing Gawain contains an image of the Virgin Mary to make sure that Gawain never loses heart.
