King Arthur

It is not known for certain if King Arthur actually lived or is a person of folklore and myth. It is said he came from and ruled England.

He was killed, or at least mortally wounded, at the battle of Camlann by his son and nephew, Sir Mordred.

Yes, the legendary love of Arthur's life was Queen Guinevere. In some versions of the story she had a heart breaking affair with Arthur's close friend and knight, Sir Lancelot.

What had happened was that Merlin saw that King Arthur had a magic sword, but broke in battle. So, he led King Arthur to a magical lake. At the lake, A mysterious hand thrust its above the surface of the water, clenching the sword that we know today as Excalibur.

Bradley James Gregory was born on Oct 11, 1983 in Devon, England.

King Arthur stood for creating the utopia that Merlin had foreseen in the future. He was noble and strong but he also stood as a leader amongst his knights of the round in Camelot. He was essentially a overlord who created peace and harmony in the dreams that one day he could create the utopia that Merlin and him had sought for. Hope this helps!!

According to most sources, King Arthur was born of King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, who was wife of the Duke of Cornwall before she married Pendragon. Uther, consumed with obsession/love/lust (whatever you believe), rallied his army and attacked Cornwall. In the course of the battle, Cornwall was killed, and Igraine and Pendragon married, bearing Arthur. However, threat of Saxon attack moved Pendragon to foster out his child. Arthur grew up never knowing of his royal birth. Until, of course, he first laid eyes on glimmering Excalibur.

Mordred was King Arthur's son. His mother was either Morgan or Morgause, who were both King Arthur's half-sisters, and thus he was both Arthur's son and nephew, and his grandmother Igraine was his twice grandmother.

Because Mordred was an illegitimate child, he was considered the 'devil's spawn', 'unnatural' and 'born evil'. Merlin predicted that Mordred would kill King Arthur, his own father.

Because of how he is written in the legends, people tend to think he was a horrible, evil, cruel, tyrannical monster who killed the Great King Arthur. However, King Arthur was not as great as everyone thought- he attempted to kill Mordred to save his own life.

Merlin told King Arthur that Mordred would kill him one day. So, Arthur gathered up all the noble-born baby boys who were born on May Day (the day of Mordred's birth) Then, he set the 40 infant boys on a small boat out to sea to die. There was a storm and the coracle (boat) was destroyed and shipwrecked. Of course, by trying to avoid your fate, you only aid it- Mordred was the only survivor, and he was found by a fisherman and looked after by his wife.

This fueled his hate for Arthur.

All of Mordred's life in Camelot was spent being mocked, hated, and feared. No one loved him after he left his fishermother. Some say he was knighted, some say he wasn't, although his name is present on the Winchester Round Table, and he is usually considered a Knight of the Round Table. Some say he was Arthur's best friend, but usually in retellings they always hated each other. Some, more sympathetic retellings, say he fought his fate to the end. Some say he welcomed it.

There is also the matter of Lancelot's affair with Guinevere. Mordred is often credited with being the one who exposed them to Arthur, out of spite, out of hate. Lancelot escaped to France, and Arthur tried to find him. Meanwhile, Mordred took over Camelot in Arthur's absence. This led to the Battle of Camlann as Mordred refused to relinquish the throne back to Arthur upon his return.

At the Battle, Mordred fought Arthur hand-to-hand. It is usually Mordred's determination that kills Arthur- he runs forwards and is speared on Arthur's lance but his force allows him to drive himself further up the shaft and strike Arthur the fatal blow. Arthur is taken to Avalon to be healed but dies.

There's a lot to know about Mordred- like any character or human being he cannot be summed up neatly, and as a character of legend he has many variations, even in things as simple as his parentage (whether he Morgause's son or Morgan's varies on the myth or retelling)- but that basically sums it up.

He wasn't a villain; like Morgan le Fay, he was misunderstood. No child is born evil and Mordred lived with a terrible destiny all his life.

The story of Camelot may be based on a bit of fact, but there is no sure evidence that it ever existed. The story changes over time. In some he is raised by Merlin, but others never really tell us. We usually find him as a knight's page as a teen, but that is vague as location.

The story of Arthur and Guinevere started in the middle ages with many people embellishing the story over the years. There is no actual historical proof that they actually existed at all, though historians have been trying to find out for many generations.

Thomas More was knighted after he went on a diplomatic trip with Cardinal Wolsey to visit with the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. At the same time he was made the under-treasurer to the Exchequer.

In the King Arthur legends, the affair between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere caused a major rift in loyalty between the knights of the round table. There was lots of conflict and a siege in which Lancelot finally gave up Guinevere to King Arthur. Lots of the central knights were killed either accidentally or intentionally during this bout when trying to capture Lancelot and when Lancelot rescues Guinevere from execution. Mordred and Morgana Le Fay/ Morrigan Le Fay, were basically brewing up this whole conspiracy so that they could overthrow the king. There is a grand final battle, and Arthur loses. He is sent off to Avalon, the land of the elves, and is rumored to come back when the people of Britain need him most.

Uther Pendragon probably wasn't a historical man, if he was, then we would have to see if he had any issue. Arthur Pendragon can't be found in any doucment, though Pendragon was a title, it is unlikely a man named Arthur held it. But then, nothing is certain in the realm of history.

If you are viewing the legend as true, then areas such as Merline being turned into a falcon and imprisoned in a garden cage would probably be an exaggeration.

In Malory's Morte d'Arthur, King Uther held a great feast at his court. Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall, attended with his wife, Igraine. Uther saw she was beautiful and wanted to take her to bed. Igraine refused Uther's advances and told her husband. She convinced Gorlois to take her home so she wouldn't be dishonored by Uther. This angered Uther and he went to war against Gorlois, beseiging his stronghold at Tintagel. seduced Lady Igraine and All through the seige, Uther was hot in lust for the woman and called for Merlin. Merlin said he would help if Uther promised to give him something in return. Of course Uther promised: anything! Through Merlin's magic, Uther and several men are transformed into the likeness of Gorlois and several of the duke's men. Disguised, they were able to enter the fortress at Tintagel. Uther went straight to Igraine. She was surprised to see her husband there at that hour but . . . Arthur was conceived that night. Merlin knew that Arthur would be special, so he asks for the child, promising that he would take the baby to a trusted man to raise in secret. The baby is born and Merlin takes him to Sir Ector. and raised him when they had the Sir Ector raises the boy, not knowing who Arthur's parents really are. Years late, Uther dies seemingly without an heir. Through a miracle (or Merlin's magic) the sword in the stone appears in a courtyard. A great tournament is held to see who can draw the sword and therefore become King. The rest is history, Arthur pulls the sword from the stone. At first he's contested but eventually the majority of the people concede and proclaim Arthur as their King. then every one knew he was the rightful king of Britain

There are no easy, quick fix answers when dealing with Arthurian literature and the Arthurian legend. In general, Guinevere goes to a convent at some point before Arthur's final battle at Camlann against Modred: it depends on which version you're reading. In some versions, Modred falsely proclaims that Arthur is dead and tries to marry Guinevere. There is one version where she actually does wed Modred. But mostly she resists him and winds up in the convent.

Lancelot is said to try to help Arthur in the final battle against Modred at Camlann, only coming too late. He then goes to Guinevere in her convent and tries to kiss her, even for one last time. But she remains true to her new vow as a nun and is truly repentant for her love of Lancelot. She refuses his kiss. Lancelot goes off and becomes a priest. Sometime later, Lancelot has an urge to visit Guinevere one last time and goes to the convent, only to be told that she had died a short time before his arrival.

So Lancelot takes Guinevere's body to be buried with Arthur. And not long after this, Lancelot himself dies.

Camelot was deserted, now controlled by Lancelot. They stole the holy grail and brought it to a foreign land "America" hid it in what for the past few hundred years has been called "The money hole" which is now collapsed and full of water. Now literally impenetrable due to many floors of weather treated wood and water. its dangerously filled with traps and somehow to date no one has been lucky enough to get such grail. But how did it get there? look up King Henry Sinclair, he and his men "most provident in sailing" had brought the knights and their army to "the uncharted world" to hide it, which for many like the so called person who discovered coincidentally America. Which of course. he was searching for the fountain of youth"the money whole which is filled with water over the holy grail....DUH"

They were those who collapsed the money whole for being such vagrants and so not paleontologists. by this it was already many hundreds of years since it was set dry and covered and hidden. did they find it by finding the "guide stones" buried and rocks above ground carved with symbols signaling which direction to travel to get there. set off the very first traps. Than it concludes the story of the grail knights and the desertion of Camelot. and because it was deserted. It became that of the history of the fisher king.

and btw. Christopher Columbus was not the discoverer of America. Wonder how Indians ended up here? really no one discovered any plays. when there was the Pangaea"or land bridge" Ancient humans had crossed the ice. So no one knows what tribe had discovered it.

The knights of the round table were the (possibly legendary) knights of King Arthur. They held meeting around a round table because no man was more important than the next and everyone's views were important.

The Knights were men of courage, honor, dignity, courtesy, and nobleness. They protected ladies and damsels, honored and fought for kings, and undertook dangerous quests.

King Arthur met Guinevere when he first pulled out his magic sword. He looked up and saw the most beautiful women in the world standing right there, instantly falling in love with the beautiful women.
