Line 97:
* [[The Knights Templar]]: Most importantly Brian de Bois-Guilbert, but also Albert de Malvoisin, Grand Master Lucas de Beaumanoir, ''et al''.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Averted, oddly enough, by most of the actual [[The Knights Templar|Templars]] in the story, but played ''absolutely straight'' by Lucas de Beaumanoir, who is a [[Knight Templar]] in both senses of the term — indeed, the Grand Master of the Order.
* [[Lawful Neutral]] : Bois-Guilbert points out to Rebecca that the same Templar soldiers that will take her to her death if found guilty will come to her rescue if Bois-Guilbert tries to molest her before hand-because [[Just Following Orders|these are the rules]] in either case.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: Scott originally published the novel under the pseudonym Laurence Templeton, in which guise he claimed he was merely transcribing and editing an actual medieval document, the "Wardour Manuscript" <ref> a pun on "Wardour Street" in London, which was known for its shops that sold antique furniture of dubious provenance</ref> -- though the author’s actual identity seems to have been an open secret.
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Rowena for Wilfred; Athelstane for Rowena, Maurice de Bracy for Rowena, Wilfred for Rowena; Rebecca for Wilfred; Bois-Guilbert for Rebecca.
