lucrezianoin:30 days of arthurian characters - Day #27: LaudineLaudine is a character that really interests me. When I read about her I am always wondering who she is, did she really love the husband Ywain killed?, does she have some hidden magical abilities, does she loves Ywain?What is her relationship with Lunete? I admit that I prefer Lunete to Laudine because Lunete is an active character, but I can’t imagine them separate. (You probably already guessed my headcanon).Your favourite characterization in novelsI wish I have read Gerald Morris’ book about Ywain but I still haven’t. Your favourite characterization in movies/tv showsI don’t recall her in any movies/tv shows.Your favourite art/illustration about the characterUnfortunately I don’t know the author but I love this pic, probably because it is the cover of my Ywain book and that is my favourite Chrétien de Troyes’ romance.The actor/actress you wish he/she could play the characterJoanne Froggatt as Laudine (and just because I can’t imagine Laudine without Lunette: Marsha Thomason as Lunete).One headcanon about the characterI was quite obvious but my headcanon is that Lunete and Laudine are lovers. Laudine married the lord of the fountain because of her family (they wanted to ger id of her/have more lands/marry her away) and there she met Laudine and they fell in love and became secret lovers. When Ywain killed her husband, Laudine found herself with the need to find another random husband before someone who was really interested in her wanted to marry her and Lunete organized her marriage with Ywain. Yes, my headcanon also considers gay!Ywain or aromantic!Ywain or Ywain-who-knows about Laudine’s situation and wants to help her. -- source link
