About This Book

A sweeping prose compilation of Arthurian legends recounts a king's miraculous origins and rise, the founding of a chivalric fellowship, the heroic and romantic exploits of its knights, the quest for a holy relic that tests virtue, and the slow unraveling of honor through adultery and betrayal that culminates in civil war and the realm's fall. Interwoven are vivid battle scenes, solitary adventures, and moral reflection on the codes of knighthood and penitential reckonings. The narrative balances grand epic action with intimate pathos while examining loyalty, pride, the collapse of idealism, and the tension between worldly glory and spiritual aspiration.

GLOSSARY AND INDEX.

The following Index includes a Glossary of words now obsolete, or used with new meanings. Those proper names which in the text are spelt in more than one way, or have different epithets, are repeated in each of such forms, but without cross references. These have not been thought necessary, as their absence can hardly lead to mistake as to the identity of the names.
