By Seraphim..........the knights contributed only to the mythic nature of the Welsh Arthurian legend. The first writer to describe the Round Table was Wace, whose Roman de Brut was an elaboration of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae.

Knights contributed to early English literature through their depiction in various literary works as symbols of chivalry, honor, and bravery. They inspired tales of heroic quests, courtly love, and battles, providing a romanticized image of medieval society. Their stories often served to entertain and educate audiences about the values and Codes of Conduct associated with knighthood.

What are the contributions of knights to the early English literature?
The knights in the Middle Ages was accorded the highest rank of society and often amember of the king's court. The knights role in stories/epics is not only as a warrior but as a lover. Because of the system of knighthood, the position of women in society became one of great importance, and this is perhaps of the people's great devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The knights were bound to womanhood through the oaths they have sworn. He must be faithful and loyal; win his ladylove through the acts of faithfulness, manliness, skills, patience and loyalty. In those times, romance is one of the fascinating subjects of epics and tales; such are depicted by the Arthurian romances; tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table; their adventures, disloyalty, wars, ad love affairs; such that the knights played a great role.
