Le morte Darthur was written by Thomas Malory around 1470. Malory did not create all the stories, but based himself on pre-existing French and English sources.

The work was not titled Le morte Darthur by Malory. This name was given by William Caxton, the first English book printer who printed the book in 1485. He was also the one who added the chapter division to the book.
