King Arthur Essay

Charlie Clevenger Mrs. Craft English 9H, Period 4 6 December 2011 King Arthur: The Chosen King Although his stories are probably fictional, King Arthur?s legendary figure has acquired large amounts of popularity in culture today. His legends have inspired a vast collection of books and movies. Although Arthur?s historical background is the basis for the legends, it is not nearly as precise. The legends involved a mixture of magic, romance, adventure, betrayal, and adultery. King Arthur was the greatest king of England, but his quest was for the Holy Grail, with his Knights of the Round Table, his magical sword Excalibur, and Merlin the Wizard.
