Description

Le Morte D'Arthur is a collection of stories about King Arthur and his knights, written by Sir Thomas Malory in the 15th century. The book chronicles the rise and fall of the legendary king and the knights of the Round Table, including their quests, battles, and romances. Volume 2 of the book covers the early years of King Arthur's reign, from his birth and upbringing to his establishment of the Round Table and the first adventures of his knights. The volume includes stories of Arthur's encounters with Merlin the magician, his battles against the Saxons and other enemies, and his marriage to Queen Guinevere. It also introduces many of the key figures of the Arthurian legend, including Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, and Sir Galahad.

Author Biography:

Le Morte d'Arthur, the well-known English-language account of the Arthurian legend, was written by Sir Thomas Malory. Malory's personal narrative is mostly unknown, but the fact that he called himself a "knight prisoner" suggests that he was either a criminal or a prisoner of war. Although his identity has never been verified, the majority of researchers agree that he was a Warwickshire native who was imprisoned on several occasions during the Wars of the Roses The prayers that may be found in the Winchester Manuscript of Le Morte d'Arthur provide the majority of the information we have about Thomas Malory. He is distinguished from the other applicants for the position by being called a "knyght prisoner." Grammatically speaking, references to Malory as a knight may be found in the third and last volume of the Manuscript. It's unlikely that Queen Elizabeth II bestowed a knighthood on Le Morte d'Arthur's author.
