Hello! I'm suddenly wondering about thesources and cultural-historical
resonance of Archimago's impersonation of RCK, in particular his dressing as
(transforming into?) a knight ; provided we read Arch. as a priestly figure
or --better-- as a monk or friar, does anyone know of contemporary European
historical or past and present fictional characters with distinctly
ecclesiastical (Catholic or Prot or even Judaic and Muslim) establishment
identities who dress as warriors? Including, perhaps, images of an armored
Pope? I understand that Arch. is impersonating the One True Faith wrapped
in its Paul-to-Ephesians spiritual armor, thus is a covert-recusant Catholic
with all that implied politically in 1580's England, but is there another
reference here?
