The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights

Synopsis

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights is folklore collection of stories based on the British leader King Arthur who won the sixth century battle against the Saxon invasion of Britain.

Though the King Arthur’s existence is being debated by the modern historians, there are sources of poems and verses where he is casted as the great warrior, who was defending Britain from enemies of human as well as supernatural forces. However a British historical work, “History of the Kings of Britain” written by Geoffrey of Monmouth created international popularity of King Arthur, while it is unclear whether the author had adapted the character of King Arthur from historical references or invented himself.
