Description
The Death of King Arthur by Penguin Group (UK) This 13th-century French version of the Camelot legend tells the story of the final days of King Arthur, a world in decline after the Quest for the Holy Grail. As the Round Table's strength wanes, the king's own knights falter, and the loyalty of his queen is tested by her infidelity with Sir Lancelot. The treachery of Sir Mordred ultimately proves too great for King Arthur to overcome, leading to a tragic downfall that would shape the English conception of the 'great' King. This poignant tale has had a lasting impact on the Arthurian legend, influencing the works of later writers. A gripping and thought-provoking account of chivalric glory's demise, The Death of King Arthur offers a unique perspective on one of literature's most enduring stories.
