The Origins of Arthur

The earliest known references to King Arthur emerge in the 6th-century Welsh annals. While historical evidence remains elusive, countless legends and stories have woven an intricate tapestry of Arthur's reign.

Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae" (c. 1136) established the core narrative of Arthur's rise to power. According to this account, Arthur, born out of a magical union, led the Britons to victory against the invading Saxons at the Battle of Mount Badon.

Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table

Arthur's court at Camelot became a symbol of unity and prosperity. It was here that he gathered his legendary Knights of the Round Table, a diverse fellowship of noble warriors and renowned heroes.

Sir Lancelot, the fearless and gallant knight, played a pivotal role in Arthur's legend. His tragic love affair with Queen Guinevere added a layer of human drama and vulnerability to the otherwise idealistic realm.

The Quest for the Holy Grail

One of the most enduring aspects of the Arthurian legend is the quest for the Holy Grail. This mystical vessel, believed to possess the power of eternal life, became an object of desire for many knights.

The knight who proved worthy of the Grail, according to Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur" (c. 1485),was Sir Galahad, the son of Lancelot and a chaste maiden.

Merlin, the Enchanter

The End of Camelot

Despite the glory and chivalry of Arthur's reign, a tragic flaw ultimately led to its downfall. The betrayal of Mordred, Arthur's illegitimate son, culminated in the Battle of Camlann, where Arthur met his demise.
