Soluções para a tarefa
Resposta:
Chivalric romances narrate an admirable nation¿s mythical past as it follows a specific group of knights faithful to their duty as loyal companions to one another.
Explicação:
In chivalric romances the ethical code among knights and the set of morals associated with that way of life becomes largely the hub of King Arthur's narratives. The so-called Arthurian Cycle comprises many different tales by many different authors dealing with the "Matter of Britain" - that is to say, the matter of national identity and its mythical construction. Like the Norse sagas, the Arthurian cycle deals with a historical past interwoven in myth and legend. Therefore, "Chivalric romances narrate an admirable nation¿s mythical past as it follows a specific group of knights faithful to their duty as loyal companions to one another".
