King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table
The legend of King Arthur tells the story of Arthurs conception at Tintagel, his battle against Mordrid at Camlann and his final rest at Avalon. Most parts of the legend can be traced back to Geoffrey of Monmouths epic tale History of the Kings of Britain from the 12th century. This included the characters Uther Pendragon, Merlin, Guinevere, Mordrid and the sword Excalibur. (The tale of Lancelot and The Holy Grail as well as other stories about the Knights of the Round Table were added to the legend later by the French writer Chrtien de Troyes.
