Fair enough, I think, especially since the Green Knight is very generous in the end.

LONDON (Reuters) - A 400-year-old painting previously believed to be that of a woman has been found to portray the male patron and friend of William Shakespeare, its owner said on Tuesday. \n\n\n  \nThe picture of the Earl of Southampton, featuring a figure with long, black curly hair, pursed red lips, an earring and a slender right hand, has prompted speculation in British media that Shakespeare was gay. \n\n"He is wearing perfectly fashionable male attire of the day, but the earring and the hair are effeminate and unusual for the 1590s," the painting's owner Alec Cobbe told Reuters. \n\nHe said that his family had assumed for centuries that the picture was of a Lady Norton. \n\nBut after discovering links between his own family and the Southamptons and a striking resemblance between the portrait and other representations of the 3rd Earl of Southampton, Cobbe was convinced that it is Shakespeare's friend and frequent host. \n\nScholars have long argued that Southampton was the handsome young man in his late teens to whom an early sequence of Shakespeare's sonnets was addressed. \n\nThe painting is dated to around 1590, when Shakespeare was writing early sonnets including one to the "master-mistress of my passion." \n\n"It certainly illustrates that sonnet (number 20) very vividly. We are looking at the subject of the sonnet, I'm sure," said Cobbe. \n\nAlastair Laing, the National Trust's adviser on art, first suggested to Cobbe that the picture was of a male. \n\n"I was cataloguing this collection and realized that this was a young man with long hair, which one or two dandies of the time affected in this manner," he told Reuters. \n\nHe is also convinced that the picture is of Southampton, although he argued that the man was not necessarily affecting a female appearance, as a modern observer may assume. \n\n"This is a man but he is not a cross-dresser," Laing said. \n\n"He is not wearing lipstick -- some pigments just stand the passage of time better than others, giving this appearance. It is dangerous to assume anything about this man's character from this portrait." \n\nBritish newspapers have played up the significance of the discovery (news - web sites), with the mass circulation tabloid Sun headlining its story "Shakesqueer." \n\nBut even if the discovery of the portrait is much ado about nothing, it has proved effective publicity for the painting, which is now on show at Cobbe's stately home at Hatchlands Park in southern England.

Robin Hood is based on fact.  He didn't wear green tights though.  Discovery Channel did some show on him quite some time ago.  Maybe check Discovery Channels web site.

Chaucer uses satire in the Canterbury Tales to make important messages about gender. You may want to expand on the "important messages" part as I have only read a few of his tales.

1.  I don't think that they are able to transfigure so easily or else they would all just transfigure things into galleons and knuts.\n\n2.  Yes, I think RAB was Regulus \n\n3.  Do you mean Aragorn as in LOTR or Eragon as in Eragon by Chris Panolini?    Either way my money is on Voldemort because he is magic\n\n4.  Gandalf could kick Voldemort's butt.  Gandalf started as the "grey" meaning he was second in command (Sauron was white if you remember) but in #2 Gandalf is white meaning he is the supreme sorcerer.

If you are talking about the legendary castle:  It depends on who is telling the story.  Different versions of the legend, from the ancient folk tales to the Victorian poets.  The first link has different retellings of the Arthurian legend.\n\nIf you are talking about the historical figure of Arthur, who may or may not have existed:  There is a sight in Cadbury, England, which is usually pointed to as the "historical Camelot;" it was an ancient hillfort.  There have been stone age, Roman and Saxon artifacts unearthed in the area.  Life inside and around its walls depended on who was in charge at the time, and whether there was peace or war.  It was probably a site of battles, as well as a place of residence.  The second two links have information about the Cadbury site.

The actual knighting ceremony is quite lengthy and generally several are 'done' at once, but the final 'knighting' ends with the queen or king placing the flat side of a sword on the shoulders of the kneeling recipient three times, right, left and right again and speaking thus\n\nDUBBING THE KNIGHT (THE ADOUBEMENT) \nTheir Majesties (using Oathbinder): \n\n"In remembrance of oaths given and received." (Strike the right shoulder) \n"In remembrance of your lineage and obligations." (Strike the left shoulder) \n\n"Be thou a good knight." (Strike the head) \n\n"Rise, Sir ......."

Okay. I know nothing about your movie but I'll try to compare it with things I know. Please let me know if I'm right or wrong.\n\n1. The use of white for good and black for evil may send the wrong message. Sounds more like profiling. Try "light" and "darkness". Gandalf is white because of the light that shines from him, but the evil guys aren't black.\n\n2. Is Rois the heir to the kingdom of Palor? Or is there a war between the heirs and Rois is the best warrior of the good guys? First one: LOTR:ROTK. Second one: Braveheart.\n\n3. Is this Rois? Was he raised in a mountain? You should emphazise the natural abilities for survival that would come with such an upbringing, unless he's raised by animals or something, which would imply some kind of power or different abilities altogether.(Please don't show his life since childhood. That would bring memories from Conan. Introduce him as a man.)\n\n4. Is Tareh good or evil? If good, this blood would be holy. If evil, then it would be a poison (Depending on who uses it. If Rois uses it on his weapons then it could kill evil things like demons or something.) Now, if Tareh is a place as the title implies, then at some point there is a masacre or a war in which blood is spilled. I can't think what happens after that. Maybe a war for revenge. Is that it? A war between Tareh and Palor?\n\n5. Meaning the main action takes place in the kingdom of Palor, from which Rois is a native(Just like Tatooine).\n\n6. Another guess. Is Arnot the evil heir to the kingdom of Palor? Or is he the greatest warrior of the evil side? Anyway, since Rois is the hero there's not much mystery.\n\n7. You don't specify if there is a sage or teacher or wise guy who guides Rois. You should add a character about that.\n\nSounds good in general, but a little unoriginal, since most situations have already been used in highly successful stories. The character Rois sounds a little stereotiped, like a composite of Aragorn, Luke Skywalker, William Wallace, He-Man, etc.(Please don't misunderstand me. Without knowing anything about your story, I'm only trying to give a honest answer. I apologize in advance. Looking forward for your message. I'd like to know more about it.)\n\nModification:\nLook, I tried to reply your message, but there was some problem with your adress or something I don't understand.\n\nAnyway, I didn't know the hero was a heroine. I guess if you apply all my conclussions to a female there's not much difference. The same stereotypes apply. There's Red Sonja, with Brigitte Nielsen, and in TV there was Xena(There's not a Star Wars geek in America who can't tell you about Xena, Warrior Princess). You may also want to watch Batman Returns, Elektra, Catwoman for reference on female heroines.
