King Arthur & Pellianore: A Father Of Knights (King Arthur Series)

King Arthur is a legendary British King who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. According to William Claxton, Sir Thomas Malory's original book titled Le Morte D'Arthur (The Death of Arthur) was finished in the ninth year of Edward IV. It was about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. It is considered to be the last important English book written before the introduction of the printing press into England. Claxton's story of how the book was brought to him and why he printed it may be read in his preface in Volume One, Book I. King Pellinore in Arthurian legend, is the king of the medieval kingdom of Listenoise. He was the Son of King Pellam and brother of Kings Pelles and Alain, he is most famous for his endless hunt of the Questing Beast, which he is tracking when King Arthur first meets him. Pellinore beats King Arthur after three jousts and breaks the sword Arthur had withdrawn from the stone. He gets another sword from the Lady of the Lake soon after that is called Excalibur. Merlin puts a spell of enchantment on Pellinore to save Arthur's life. Arthur praises Pellinore's skill, and they soon become friends, with Arthur inviting him to join the Knights of the Round Table. He has many and his sons Tor, Aglovale, Lamorak, Dornar, and Percival all eventually join the Round Table as well. His daughter is thought to be a servant of the Holy Grail and helps Percival, Galahad and Bors achieve the mystical objective. This edition retains the chapters of Malory's Volume I, Book III and an attempt has been made to retain his work while making it easier for the reader to follow the story using modern English and updated spelling. It is hoped that the reader will agree.
