description: Dating back to the fifth century the legend of King Arthur his Queen Guinevere and the Knights of the Round Table is an integral part of British national mythology. From its beginning as a few lines of Latin text written in a sixth-century monks hand Arthurian legend has blossomed over the years into a unique universe built on the real foundations of Britains Dark Ages and the principles of ancient chivalry. Liberally expanded over the years to include romantic entanglements an imaginary ancient empire and the threat of the supernatural the legend of King Arthur remains as engaging today as it was in medieval times. King Arthurs life whether it happened or not cuts to the core of the Matter of Britain and reveals the heart of Britains fanciful idea of its origin.
