Sir Gowther

''Sir Gowther'' is a relatively short Middle English tail-rhyme romance in twelve-line stanzas, found in two manuscripts, each dating to the mid- or late-fifteenth century.〔Laskaya, Anne and Salisbury, Eve (Eds). 1995. ''The Middle English Breton Lays.'' Kalamazoo, Michigan: Medieval Institute Publications.〕〔Vandelinde, Henry. 1996. ''Sir Gowther: Saintly knight and knightly saint''. Neophilologus, volume 80, number 1/January, 1996.〕 The poem tells a story that has been variously defined as a secular hagiography, a Breton lai and a romance,〔Mills, Maldwyn. 1973, ''Six Middle English Romances''. J M Dent and Sons Limited, Everyman’s Library.〕〔Laskaya, Anne and Salisbury, Eve (Eds). 1995.〕 and perhaps "complies to a variety of possibilities."〔Laskaya, Anne and Salisbury, Eve (Eds). 1995.〕 An adaptation of the story of Robert the Devil, the story follows the fortunes of Sir Gowther from birth to death, from his childhood as the son of a fiend, his wicked early life, through contrition and a penance imposed by the Pope involving him in a lowly and humiliating position in society, and to his eventual rise, via divine miracles, as a martial hero and ultimately to virtual canonization. But despite this saintly end, "like many other lays and romances, ''Sir Gowther'' derives much of its inspiration from a rich and vastly underappreciated folk tradition."〔Laskaya, Anne and Salisbury, Eve (Eds). 1995.〕
==Manuscripts==
The story of Sir Gowther is found in two manuscripts: British Library Royal MS 17.B.43 and National Library of Scotland MS Advocates 19.3.1. Both of these manuscripts date from the mid- to late-fifteenth century.〔Laskaya, Anne and Salisbury, Eve (Eds). 1995.〕〔Vandelinde, Henry. 1996.〕 The romance itself was probably composed in around 1400.〔Blamires, Alcuin. 2004. ''The twin demons of aristocratic society in Sir Gowther.'' In: ''Pulp fictions of medieval England'', edited by Nicola McDonald, pp 45 – 63.〕
Both instances of this Middle English romance are composed in twelve-line, tail-rhyme stanzas, like many other Middle English romances, such as ''Ipomadon'', ''Emaré'', ''Sir Launfal'' and ''Octavian'', each verse rhyming ''aabccbddbeeb''. The copy in National Library of Scotland MS Advocates 19.3.1 is 756 lines long.
