King IEthelstan from the invading See also:northern See also:kings, Anelaph (Anlaf or See also:Olaf) and Gonelaph, by slaying in single fight their See also:champion the See also:giant Colbrand. See also:Local tradition fixes the See also:duel at See also:Hyde See also:Mead near Winchester. Making his way to Warwick he becomes one of his wife's bedesmen, and presently retires to a hermitage in See also:Arden, only revealing his identity at the approach of See also:death. The versions of the See also:Middle English romance of Guy which we possess are adaptations from the See also:French, and are See also:cast in the See also:form of a See also:roman d'aventures, opening with a See also:long See also:recital of Guy's wars in See also:Lombardy, See also:Germany and See also:Constantinople, and embellished with fights with dragons and surprising feats of arms. The See also:kernel of the tradition evidently lies in the fight with Colbrand, which represents, or at least is symbolic'. of an See also:historical fact. The religious See also:side of the See also:legend finds See also:parallels in the stories of St Eustachius and St Alexius,2 and makes it probable that the Guy-legend, as we have it, has passed through monastic hands. Tradition seems to be at See also:fault in putting Guy's adventures under iEthelstan. The Anlaf of the See also:story is probably Olaf Tryggvason, who, with Sweyn of See also:Denmark, harried the See also:southern counties of See also:England in 993 and pitched his See also:winter quarters in See also:Southampton. Winchester was saved, however, not by the valour of an English champion, but by the See also:payment of See also:money. This Olaf was not unnaturally confused with Anlaf Cuaran or Havelok (q.v.).
The name Guy (perhaps a See also:Norman form of A. S. See also:wig= See also:war) may be fairly connected with the See also:family of Wigod, See also:lord of Wallingford under See also:Edward the See also:Confessor, and a Filicia, who belongs to the 12th See also:century and was perhaps the Norman poet's patroness, occurs in the See also:pedigree of the Ardens, descended from Thurkill of Warwick and his son Siward.

1 Some writers have supposed that the fight with Colbrand symbolizes the victory of Brunanburh. Anelaph and Gonelaph would then represent the See also:cousins Anlaf Sihtricson and Anlaf Godfreyson (see HAVELox).

romance. The bulk of the legend is obviously fiction, even though it may be vaguely connected with the family See also:history of the Ardens and the Wallingford family, but it was accepted as See also:authentic fact in the See also:chronicle of See also:Pierre de See also:Langtoft (See also:- PETER

The adventures of Reynbrun, son of Guy, and his See also:tutor Heraud of Arden, who had also educated Guy, have much in See also:common with his See also:father's history, and form an See also:interpolation sometimes treated as a See also:separate romance. There is a certain connexion between Guy and See also:Count Guido of See also:Tours (fl. 800), and See also:Alcuin's See also:advice to the count is transferred to the English hero in the See also:Speculum Gy of Warewyke (c. 1327), edited for the See also:Early English See also:Text Society by G.

A French See also:prose version was printed in See also:Paris, 1525, and subsequently (see G. See also:Brunet, See also:Manuel du libraire, s. v.

The popularity of the legend is shown by the numerous versions in English: Guy of Warwick, translated from the Latin of Girardus Cornubiensis (R. 1350) into English See also:verse by See also:John See also:Lydgate between 1442 and 1468; Guy of Warwick, a poem (written in 1617 and licensed, but not printed) by John See also:Lane, the MS of which (Brit.
