Heroism and Chivalry | Legio I Lynx Fulminata

The link above explains how chivalry is a quality of heroism during the middle ages. Chivalry in Beowulf, The Lay of Sir Launfal, and The Canterbury Tales was what defined a hero during this time.

The story's protagonist is a black native prince named Oroonoko, who eventually became a heroic underdog who would lead his people to a country worth trusting. He voices his aspirations by telling them "Come, my fellow-slaves, let us descend, and see if we can meet with more honor and honesty in the next world we shall touch upon" (Behn).

Before retiring her throne, Queen Elizabeth I reveals to her audience how non-selfish and dedicated she was to her people. She expresses herself from the heart, saying that "What you bestow on me, I will not hoard it up, but receive it to bestow on you again" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty). Overall, she was a great queen, a true hero, and a caring ruler.

This illustrates the paths that Queen Elizabeth is facing as a leader/hero and as a writer.

The second poem that Queen Elizabeth wrote explained how she expressed mixed feelings about being queen and hero of England after the loss of someone that she cares about. Being a hero can cause these types of feelings, especially after she said, "I grieve and dare not show my discontent, I love and yet am forced to seem to hate" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 1-2).

The first poem revolving around Queen Elizabeth who is a hero based on how she defends her throne and her people even when the odds are not in her favor. When she succeeded, she states that she will stand her ground and that "No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port: Our realm brooks no seditious sects--let them elsewhere resort" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 13-14).

The Middle Ages: The Canterbury Tales - The Miller's Prologue

# data[].attributes.body
This poem shows the weakest extent of heroism in contrast to the other tales mentioned in The Canterbury Tales. The tale focuses less on true chivalry and more on fake heroism since the following quote falsifies the attempted heroism that took place. One of the two characters, Nicholas, convinced and lies to the other character, John, that "now on Monday next, at quarter night, shall fall a rain, and that so wild and wood, mad that never half so great was Noe’s flood" (Chauncer, lines 408-410). The heroic actions taken to save their lover, Alison, from a flood were for nothing since the story about a flood was fake.

Like Beowulf, this poem is an epic about a character who is chivalrous and brave named Launfal. Unlike most of the knights of the round table, Sir Launfal is not as wealthy as them, but they are jealous of his bravery and shun him out. Gawain, however, is more loyal, reminding the other knights that "we wronged our companion Launfal, who is so generous and courtly, and whose father is a rich king, when we didn't bring him with us" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 229-233).

This poem is about a chivalric and noble hero named Beowulf, who aspires to become a legend as the hero and champion of his people. He fought against the evil Grendel both with bravery and honor, as he announces: "I have heard too that this evil monster, Reckless indeed, scorns use of weapons; So, I too – that Hygelac my liege-lord May have joy in his heart – will forego The bearing of sword or of broad shield Rimmed with lime-wood" (Beowulf, lines 433-438).
