description: King Arthur. Camelot. Might for Right. These are some of best-known, best-loved legends in our culture. Yet, do we really know the tales of King Arthur, as they were first told? King Arthur was a sixth-century pagan, Celtic ruler. From the day of his birth, he was groomed by Myrddin (Merlin) for the kingship. The ribald and zany tales of his followers and close companions Gwalchmai (Sir Gawain), Bedwyr (Sir Bedivere), Cai (Sir Kay), and Llenlleawc (Sir Lancelot) evoke the British humor and pathos of the Dark Ages tales. The machinations of Arthur's sisters, Morgan (Morgan le Fay) and Morgawse, stir up trouble for Arthur throughout his kingship. King Arthur and his Ribald (K)nights is filled with tales of heroism, victories, defeats, laughter, tears, and lust. The tales are 1500 years old, yet still resonate in today's world.
