There has been a lot of material written about the legendary King
|
|
Arthur and although he has been a popular figure inliterature for over 800
|
|
years, not a lot is known about the real Arthur. It is believed that Arthur
|
|
was a 5the-century British King named Riothamus (meaning "high king") who
|
|
ruled from 454 - 470 A.D. and led an army into Gaul where he was defeated
|
|
by the Goths of Burgundy. Two men by the names of Jordanes (6the century)
|
|
and William (11the century) contributed to the legend of Arthur. Their
|
|
input was perhaps the real basis of future adaptations of the story. Arthur
|
|
appeared in literature as a national hero in a book written in Latin by
|
|
Geoffrey of Monmouth called Historia Regum Britanniae (meaning History of
|
|
the Kings of Britain). he book supposedly covered history from 1200 B.C. to
|
|
689 A.D. Geoffrey includes many sources of information with his work but
|
|
most scholars believe it to be a fictional bibliography added only to give
|
|
his book some credibility. Therefore his work is considered to be
|
|
literature not factual history. Geoffrey is the one responsible for the
|
|
portrayal of Arthur as a splendid King who conquered the British Isles and
|
|
much of Europe Introduced by Geoffrey are Guenevere, Merlin, information
|
|
about Arthur's strange birth and death and the concept of chivalry. Due to
|
|
the tremendous popularity of Geoffrey's book, authors like Robert Wace and
|
|
Chretien de Troyes continued on with the development of King Arthur and his
|
|
life, adding yet more detail and depth to the story. Robert Wace
|
|
concentrated on the Arthurian aspect of the story while Chretien
|
|
concentrated on the romantic aspect of Arthur's life. Some of the new
|
|
elements added include d the Round Table, courtly love and the love affair
|
|
between Lancelot and Guenevere. In 1205 A.D. Layamon wrote the first
|
|
English version of the King Arthur stories with a distinctly British
|
|
perspective. Another nationalistic version of the story was Morte Arthure.
|
|
This version was centered around fighting and action diminishing many of
|
|
the character's parts, like Lancelot for instance. Perhaps the most widely
|
|
accepted story of Arthur was written in 1485 by Sir Thomas Malory. Malory
|
|
combines aspects of Wace, Chretien, Geoffrey and Layamon, expands on
|
|
Arthur's court by adding short stories about some of Arthur's most
|
|
important knights and writes of the collapse of the Round Table.
