In the late fifteenth century, when persistent political strife had dimmed the aura of the English warrior aristocrat and when non-nobles reshaped the discourses of power, Sir Thomas Malory reaffirmed chivalric society in a bold way. In his <i>Tale of Gareth</i> the Arthurian synthesizer closely aligned knightly <i>worshyp</i> with that same manual workâburden and mark of the peasantâtraditionally juxtaposed to the noble lifestyle. There the young Sir Gareth of Orkney rejects aristocratic entitlement and parasitism, and his social advance carefully pairs martial <i>laboure</i> with the needful, Rabelaisian replenishment served by a good appetite.
