The case is clearly made that one of the most famous works of English literature belongs to North Staffordshire. Obvious new candidates for both the Gawain-poet\u2019s patron and the Gawain castle are suggested, and these are found to fit naturally and almost exactly when compared with the expected dates, castle features, dialect location, social status and life-story. A wealth of surrounding detail is also explored, such as: the history and role of the King\u2019s Champion; English contacts with full-blooded paganism during the Prussian crusades; the two lavish courts at Tutbury; and the history of the Manifold Valley. This ebook is well illustrated and copiously referenced with linked round-trip footnotes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/spyders\/oldimages\/frontcover400.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/spyders\/oldimages\/frontcover400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"612\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7005\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Available to buy now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An expanded ebook of my book Strange Country: Sir Gawain in the moorlands of North Staffordshire, an investigation is now available on Amazon, at an affordable price.
