Sir Percival the Innocent - The Original Grail Knight - Arthurian Legend
Sir Percival
Sir Percival was raised by his mother in ignorance of arms and courtesy. Yet because of his upbringing, Percival was one of the most gracious and innocent of the Knights of the Round Table. Percival’s natural prowess, ultimately led him to King Arthur’s court where he immediately set off in pursuit of a knight who had offended Queen Guinevere.
Percival was the Grail knight or one of the Grail knights in numerous medieval and modern stories of the Grail quest. Sir Percival first appears in Chrétien de Troyes’s unfinished Percivale or Conte del Graal (c.1190). The incomplete story prompted a series of “continuations,” in the third of which (c. 1230), by an author named Manessier, Percival achieves the Grail.

BLURZERK BONKERZ: "Witches Brew" UNDERGROUND RAP about the evil religious killing of Witches
LYRICS: "Witches Brew"
What can I do(3X),
To stir this stew,
This witches brew,
I thought you knew,
This was; Peace, Love, and Respect.
But you burned them witches at the stake,
This ain't no witch-hunt,
This is a witch, Caliper?
How many innocent women did you drown at the riverbanks?
Or hang with the noose of Saints?
This is cutthroat, what you did to them.
May you burn in Hell with a thousand Suns.
Hell-Fire on your funeral pyre.
Trapped in thee illusion of a kaleida-scope, nope, not this Holy Ghost?
Women and Children come first, us MEN, we're on our own, it's called; Honor.
Bowing to GOD as a cowardice.
I would never kill my own or an innocent.
I bow to GOD in a candle-lit, room, with a gloom of the moon, mushrooming,
What were those Witches Brewing?
What can I do(4X)

International auxiliary language
An international auxiliary language or interlanguage is a language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common first language. An auxiliary language is primarily a second language.

Visiting Professor of Creative Media lecture with Jeanette Winterson: The Word-Zoo
This lecture took place at the University of Oxford's English Faculty in October 2022. It was Jeanette Winterson's first lecture as Visiting Professor of Creative Media. The title of the talk is: 'The Word-Zoo: Language in the time of Tabloids, TikTok, Conspiracy Cults, Brexit, and AI. Evolution? Conservation? Extinction?'
‘When I use a word’, Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.’ The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master – that’s all’
Jeanette Winterson CBE is a British writer. Her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published in 1985, when she was 24. She later scripted it into a BBC Bafta...

Sir Percival
Sir Percival was raised by his mother in ignorance of arms and courtesy. Yet because of his upbringing, Percival was one of the most gracious and innocent of the Knights of the Round Table. Percival’s natural prowess, ultimately led him to King Arthur’s court where he immediately set off in pursuit of a knight who had offended Queen Guinevere.
Percival was the Grail knight or one of the Grail knights in numerous medieval and modern stories of the Grail quest. Sir Percival first appears in Chrétien de Troyes’s unfinished Percivale or Conte del Graal (c.1190). The incomplete story prompted a series of “continuations,” in the third of which (c. 1230), by an author named Manessier, Percival achieves the Grail. (An analogue to Chrétien’s tale is found in the thirteenth-century Welsh romance Peredur.)
Sir Percival of Legend
Saint Graal, one of the early mentions of Percival, written by Robert de Boron, talks about Percival as having a noble birth. But in many of the other stories, Percival comes from very humble beginnings. Sir Percival’s sister, Dindrane is talked about in many of the legends and is associated with the Holy Grail. In some stories she is the bearer of the Holy Grail. In a few instances, Percival is associated with being the son of King Pellinore, which would have made Percival the brother of Sir Aglovale, Sir Lamorak and Sir Dornar.
Chrétien de Troyes refers to Sir Percival as meeting the Fisher King and thus sees a “grail” – though it does not refer to this grail as the “Holy Grail”. But in his ignorance, he failed to ask the question of the Fisher King which would have healed him. Upon learning of his mistake with the Fisher King, Sir Percival vows to find the castle that houses the true Grail and then sets off on his Quest. But for the most part, the legend – at least Chrétien de Troyes’ version of it, ends here.
According to History
Chrétien’s story was also the inspiration for one of the greatest romances of the Middle Ages, Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival (c. 1200-1210). As in Chrétien’s story, Wolfram’s Parzival is initially naive and foolish, having been sheltered from the dangers of the chivalric world by his mother. In both versions Percivale/Parzival is the guest of the wounded Fisher King (called Anfortas by Wolfram but unnamed by Chrétien) at whose castle he witnesses the Grail procession and fails to ask–because he has been advised of the impoliteness of asking too many questions–the significance of what he sees and, in Wolfram’s romance, what causes Anfortas’s pain. This failure is calamitous because asking the question would have cured the king.
Other medieval versions of the story of Percivale can be found in the French texts known as the Didot-Percivale and Perlesvaus (also called The High Book of the Grail or Le Haut Livre du Graal). Percivale is the central character in the fourteenth-century Middle English romance Sir Percivale of Galles which is apparently based on Chrétien’s tale but which omits the Grail motif entirely. Percivale is one of three Grail knights in Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, the others being Galahad and Bors. Percivale functions as the narrator of the dramatic monologue which comprises most of Tennyson’s Idyll “The Holy Grail.” In this idyll, much of what Percivale tells focuses on Galahad as the central Grail knight. Richard Wagner, drawing his inspiration primarily from Wolfram von Eschenbach though greatly simplifying Wolfram’s plot, wrote the opera Parsifal in 1882.

He is currently collaborating with Professor Hilary Carey on an edition of Lancelot Threlkeld's translations into the Hunter River-Lake Macquarie language.
On 21 June 2011 Dr Wafer delivered this paper in the Friends Reading Room, Cultural Collections, Auchmuty Library.
A reply to Dr Wafer's paper was delivered by Mr Raymond Kelly, Associate Lecturer at the Wollotuka Institute.
Abstract:
Lancelot Threlkeld, to whom we owe most of our knowledge of the Hunter River-Lake Macquarie language (HRLM), recorded almost no indigenous texts, but devoted himself to scripture translation. From a linguist's perspective this might perhaps be considered a deficiency, since it deprives us of the opportunity to understand HRLM verbal art as it was practised by the speakers themselves. Nonetheless, it gives us the chance to investigate semantically HRLM's approaches to the issues of human subjectivity with which the scriptures deal, and these are less likely to be encountered in indigenous stories and songs.
Threlkeld uses two different words to translate "soul": maray and minki. The first of these occurs more often as a translation of "spirit", and the latter as a translation of "sorrow, sympathy, repentance". Both words are polysemous in HRLM, and the present paper will demonstrate the range of their allusions, in the context of Threlkeld's translations, and attempt to draw some broader inferences about the HRLM understanding of subjective processes.

This lecture took place at the University of Oxford's English Faculty in October 2022. It was Jeanette Winterson's first lecture as Visiting Professor of Creative Media. The title of the talk is: 'The Word-Zoo: Language in the time of Tabloids, TikTok, Conspiracy Cults, Brexit, and AI. Evolution? Conservation? Extinction?'
‘When I use a word’, Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.’ The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master – that’s all’
Jeanette Winterson CBE is a British writer. Her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published in 1985, when she was 24. She later scripted it into a BBC Bafta winning drama. Twenty-seven years she returned to that material in her 2011 memoir Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? She has written more than 20 books of fiction and non-fiction, including a collaboration with the sculptor Antony Gormley: LAND. Her latest book is a collection of essays on AI: 12 Bytes at AI – How we got here and where we might go next. Her work is published in 27 countries.
The Visiting Professorship of Creative Media at the English Faculty was established in 1996, as part of a generous benefaction from Rupert Murdoch. It is an annual appointment and the Professor will give a series of lectures during the academic year.
