Though the poem was written during the Victorian era, the time in which it is set is the Italian Renaissance, as Browning establishes by references to art and the dowry which the Duke is negotiating with the Count of Tyrol, as well as by the Duke's "thousand-year-old name." Why is this "name" so important to this Renaissance Duke? Please explain in at least two complete sentences.

Even though this poem is set during the Arthurian times, it was written during the Victorian era. Remember that Victorian writers mocked the Victorian Code of Decorum and Prudery. (The Victorians were easily offended and shocked--prudery.) How is Tennyson mocking the Victorian society? Cite textual evidence. Responses will vary in length, but the minimum response should be 4 sentences.
