King Arthur: Rounnd Table
built 184 days ago
The Knights of the Round Table were virtuous but not perfect; King Arthur loved women like Biblical Kings David and Solomon. He had two sons, both born out of wedlock, and one, Mordred, (Medrawt ) sought only to kill him and take his power and Kingly position. Mordred was the son of King Arthur's sister, Morgan Le Fay, "the most dreadest witch in all of Christendom" as they used to say.

In this purportedly "fact-based" depiction of King Arthur set in Britain, circa 450 A.D., the once and future king (Clive Owen) is a knight of the Roman Empire, along with the noble Lancelot (Ioan Gruffud) and Galahad (Hugh Dancy). No longer able to control the tribes of Britain, the Roman Empire is pulling its forces from the embattled island, even as the vicious Saxons led by Cedric (Stellan Skarsgard) invade from the North. But before Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table can embrace freedom, they must first rescue a Roman family in the north. It's a perilous mission through harsh terrain where the warrior tribes under the shaman Merlin (Stephen Dillane) regularly attack Roman soldiers. Yet as Arthur forges ahead, he comes to realize that his true allegiance is to Britain, rather than Rome. With the help of the beautiful and courageous Guinevere (Keira Knightley) of the "Woad" tribe, Arthur takes up his sword Excalibur against the marauding Saxons.

Son of Uther Pendragon, King of Britain, and Igraine, wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall, Arthur was conceived out of wedlock and brought up by the wizard Merlin. By pulling the magic sword Excalibur from a stone from which no one else could extract it, he revealed himself, though then a child, as the predestined king. Crowned at the age of fifteen, in Wales, he soon showed his skill as a military commander, even reaching the city of Rome in one campaign. Against Merlin's advice Arthur married Guinevere, who loved Sir Lancelot and was unfaithful to the king. Disaster struck his kingdom in the shape of a rebellion raised by Mordred, his nephew. A great battle was fought, nearly all of the Knights of the Round Table slain, and Arthur himself sorely wounded.

King Arthur married Guinevere. They lived in Camelot on the River Usk in England. King Arthur found many knights to help him. They all sat at a round table during meetings. The round table was a new idea. Before the king sat head of a square table.

King Arthur and King Cornwall survives in the Percy Folio Manuscript. Like Turke , it occurs in that section of the volume where about half of each page had been ripped out to start fires, and so lacks about half its content; as a result, a story that was already more attentive to large motifs and bold turns of plot than to subtle details has lost a number of crucial events. Cornwall redeploys an array of traditional features of romance story. In particular, the pilgrimage, the boasts (or "gabs"), and the encounter with a magically powerful opponent resemble medieval anecdotes told about Charlemagne, though similar episodes ... occur in Arthurian narratives like Gologras and Turke . Yet Cornwall may not have come by these elements through specific literary sources. Instead, its plot may reflect motifs connected to Arthurian legend from its origins, or, perhaps most likely of all, it may simply represent a reworking of elements popularly associated with the knights of the Round Table in the late Middle Ages. Whether the seventeenth-century ballad retells a medieval romance of Gawain and Arthur, or improvises its own image of medieval chivalry on the basis of notions that earlier Arthurian romances had put in circulation, Cornwall strongly conveys the enduring glamour of the Round Table's might and magic.

Every King needs his knights, or so it seems, and Arthur was no different. Was there some kind of knight sign-up that he orchestrated to attract the best knights in the land? Or, did he simply appoint his relatives and lackeys to choice positions? There were rumours that King Arthur employed Peter Kenyon and attracted investments from a certain Russian Jew to help him complete his "Galaticos of the Rounnd Table Project". Yaa, and he supported gay marriage and whity tidy underwear. HE was really dumn
