Arthurian+Legends

**Arthurian Legends **


Not much is known about King Arthur, the knights of the round table, and what he did. Arthur is mentioned in Irish, British, and Celtic mythology, and is first mentioned in the eight hundreds. There are many stories about Arthur and his knights of the round table, like his quest for the holy grail and about the sword excaliber, but most sources of these tales aren't reliable. Arthur didn't know he came from royalty until he came of age, but by that time he had lots of devoted followers. Some stories talk about a wizard named Merlin who shaped Arthur's destiny. Other stories talk about Morgan Le Fay. In some stories she is mentioned as being good while in others she is bad. In some stories she is even called Arthur's half sister.

One well known tale about Arthur involves him getting excaliber. There are two versions of this story. In one version Arthur pulls excaliber out of stone, while in another version the lady of the lake gives him it. Probably the most known tale of King Arthur is when he tries to get the holy grail in Britain. The knights of the round table try to get the holy grail with Arthur, but only one knight actually gets it. Another story about Arthur is when Guinevere, Arthur's wife, and Lancelot, Arthur's best knight, fall in love. Not everything is known about King Arthur, but most of this is reliable.
