         King Arthur portrait


"Sir Thomas Malory called his very long book 'The Death of Arthur'. It is the tragedy of sin coming home to roost.
[Arthur] did not know [that] he was doing so, but it seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough."
E.B. White [1899-1985]

Whether the mythology of Arthur and Camelot and The Knights of the Round Table has any historic basis, the myth has had a strong impact
on British and American culture. Among modern authors & filmmakers & others fascinated with King Arthur were/are John Boorman, Luc Bresson,
Hal Foster {the "Prince Valiant" comic strip, 1937-80}, Walt Disney [1901-66], John Steinbeck [1902-68], Mary Stewart (5 books),
J.R.R. Tolkien [1892-1973], and Mark Twain [1835-1910].


     The Legend of King Arthur & Camelot
     t e x t
     h e r e

the Round Table was first described in 1155 by Wace, who got his information from past legends. The castle (Camelot) is mentioned for the first time in Chrétien de Troyes' poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, dating to the 1170s, though it does not appear in all the manuscripts. In fact, Geoffrey of Monmouth's list of kings of the Britons, published around the 12th century, is one of the first times we find the name of King Arthur. Many historians suggest that Arthur has no historical basis, that the stories are pure myth. Others think that there might not have been a King Arthur, but that the character has basis in fact.

one of the ancient names for King Arthur was 'the Raven King'

legend has it that the Tudors were decendents of Constantine (a Briton), as was King Arthur (grandson) who married three queens named Guinevere
