If anyone out there has a favorite source or sources for semi-obscure medieval legends, particularly around either King Arthur or the knights of Charlemagne, I'm in the market for some recommendations. ♥

And in return, if you want a recommendation for the perfect antidote to all the Twilight silliness, I'm really enjoying "The Strain" by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. High literature it ain't, but it's a fun, if predictable, suitably disgusting take on the vampire mythos, and fellow fans of Del Toro's cinematic work won't be disappointed by the visuals and the way scenes are set up.

Speaking in a purely stereotypical sense, suppose you met a very pretty young woman (mid- to late-twenties) from a wealthy family (ie, wouldn't ever anticipate needing to work for a living)... if someone asked you to guess what she studied at university, what would your guess be?

I know, completely insane. But there's a method to my madness. Sort of.

Suggestions from US- or other-centric friends would not be amiss... I'm just specifically looking for UK-specific expectations. ;)

Also, has anybody here been to Versailles? And perhaps had occasion to notice what kind of security they have there? I promise I'm not considering breaking in... but I've got some characters who might. *g*
