Browse Amazon Books: Arthurian Legend

King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is a persistant and endearing legend which may (or may not) have been rooted in history.

The tales have come down to us from the Welsh Mabinogion through Geoffry of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, Chretien De Troyes' Matter of Britain and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur , which is more-or-less the form in which the legend is known today.
