What evidence is there in our sociey today that shows us that the legend of Arthur and the Age of Chivalry is still of interest?

The easy answer is the amount of books that have been written on the subject, and the number of movies that have come out. First Knight, King Arthur, and more recently, the Arthurian entrance into the Last Legion. There is also the current Television series based on Arthur and Merlin. There have been more than 30 books written on the subject of Arthurian legend in just the last 10 years. The series by Stephen Lawhead is still in publication. Courtway Jones book series is coming back into publication. Whyte's most recent series was popular as well. If there was no interest in our society, there would not be consistant media that would bear it out. You can also look at sites like Wikipedia and see what type of content there is on the subject. The additions to the site are constant.


What are the sources about King Arthur?

Off the top of my head, there is a book of the collected poems of Alfred Tennyson, which are about King Arthur published in 1872. There's also a book called Le Morte D'Arthur by Malory, 1470. Geoffrey of Monmouth also wrote about Arthur. 1993, Illustrated Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legends - Claremont Books And many websites, just type in King Arthur.


What year was King Arthur was born?

Actually, the original Arthur Angus Pendragon was born on September 9, 1424 - but due to the nature of his conceivement, he was noted as heir to the Pendragon throne... even though his father was not royalty. His father was one of Uther Pendragon's Palace guards. Merlin himself helped the guard commit adultery to consummate Arthur's birth. -Xapirteraziz


What is the best figure drawing book?

If we're talking about a book to serve as a companion text to a life drawing class, I'll have to go with George Bridgman's "Constructive Anatomy." If you're looking for an academic survey of figure drawing concepts, I'd go with Nathan Goldstein's book. (The best book on drawing for absolute beginners is "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," by Stan Lee and John Buscema. It's an art school in a book.)

What does post-Galfridian refer to in writings about King Arthur?

It is a reference to Geoffrey of Monmouth. Galfridus is the latinized version of Geoffrey. Geoffrey was a monk in the twelfth century who established most of the basic elements of the Arthurian legend in a book called "The History of the Kings of Britain." Post Galfridian would mean versions of the legend or elements thereof that date from after Geoffrey's writing. Michael Montagne

Lancelot is often described as the greatest knight in Arthurian legend, known for his unparalleled skill in battle and his passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with Queen Guinevere.

Lady Pendragon is based on the character Guinevere from the Arthurian legends.
