	Middle Ages :: King Arthur
		He is the central character in Arthurian legends (known as the Matter of Britain), although there is disagreement about whether Arthur, or a model for him, ever actually existed and in the earliest mentions and Welsh texts he is never given the title "king".
		His power base was probably in either Wales, Cornwall or the west of what would become England, but controversy over the centre of his power and the extent and kind of power he wielded continues to rage.
		This may be related to legends where Arthur is depicted as the leader of the Wild Hunt, a folk motif that is also recorded in Brittany, France, and Germany.

	KING ARTHUR FACTS AND INFORMATION
		His power base was probably in either Wales, Cornwall, or the west of what would become England, but controversy over the center of his power and the extent and kind of power he wielded continues to rage.
		This may be related to legends where Arthur is depicted as the leader of the Wild_Hunt, a folk motif that is also recorded in Brittany, France, and Germany; Roger_S._Loomis has listed a number of these instances (Loomis 1972).
		In Season Nine of the science-fiction television series Stargate_SG-1, Arthur and Arthurian legend, particularly Merlin, are intrinsic to the plot of the season; specifically, Merlin is an Ancient who may have taught Arthur how to Ascend at Glastonbury Tor and hid the wealth of the Knights in an elaborate, puzzle-laden chamber.

	Arthurian Booklist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first, by Williams, is a lengthy history of the development of the Arthurian legend, discussing the entry of the various great themes (i.e., courtly love, the Grail, etc.) and how it affected the legend that had existed to that point.
		The first listed, the "short" or "non-cyclic prose Lancelot," is a very interesting point in the development of the legend: Lancelot is not yet involved in the Grail quest (indeed, it is implied that it has already occurred by the time he comes to King Arthur's court).
		Based on the Welsh tales of Llew Llaw Gyffes.

	Arthurian Film
		Based on the successful 1960 Broadway play by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, which was in turn based on T. White's The Once and Future King, this film has had few neutral critics, most of whom responded negatively to it.
		Delannoy's updating of the legend of Tristan and Isolde, with a screenplay by Jean Cocteau, is for all its brilliance nonetheless tainted by racist ideas that made it acceptable to the Nazi occupiers of wartime France.
		Based on Tennyson's poem "Elaine," which was first published in Idylls of the King (1859), this film was critically well received because of its effective use of pageantry and the skill with which it told a love story.

		These movies are the ones that I couldn't escape seeing, due to the heavy re-running of the watered down version on network tv (which is why I particularly hate TNT and TBS).
		Story: In a spoof of the Arthurian Legend, this collection of skits follows the adventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as they face perilous dangers in their quest for the Holy Grail.
		Review: One of the most wickedly entertaining and funny movies of the 70's, Dog Day Afternoon is both a movie based on a true story and a satire of the media, cops, and the people witnessing the events.

	The Arthurian Music List
		This is a compilation of original songs based on the Arthurian legends, and includes new versions of four previously released songs.
		Arthurian Symphony: The structure of this symphony is plotted and its basic melodies outlined, but it is not yet composed.
		I have no idea of what scale is the reference to Arthurian times borne by the other songs, but I suppose most of them are about Arthur's knights and their battle glory.

	Amazon.com: Excalibur (1981) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale.
		Director John Boorman blends several variations of the legend together, combining some characters to fit the needs of the story, with strong battle sequences (not for the squeamish) and a compelling (and infamous) love triangle (Cherie Lunghi is gorgeous- what was she doing in the video of Level 42's hit Something About You, though?).
		This is a violent and disturbing movie, but is very high class and enough technicsal merit where it was mainstream at the time of its release and got a kind of mainstream/ kind of cult following later on.

	Review of King Author
		The images of King Arthur and his colorful cohorts are readily identifiable to anyone even moderately attuned to American popular culture: the nobility of Arthur and his knights; the betrayal of Lancelot; the quest for the Grail; the mystery of Merlin and the duplicity of Morgan Le Fay.
		Despite their original source in arcane legend, movies about Arthur and his exploits make for the stuff craved by American audiences, encompassing violence, grisly combat, betrayal, honor, sex and redemption.
		King Arthur, it would seem, was made for the movies, a fact most evident in the wide variety of films that have been made about Arthur and the legends that surround him.

		Unfortunately, this list is not being compiled by someone generally classified as "sane".
		Legend - OK, as it stands now (at its current 91 minute running time) Legend might not truly be one of the best fantasy movies ever, but it sure as hell is one of the most beautiful.
		The current incarnation of Legend is a muddled affair indeed, but it was one of the movies that led me to the life of a film addict.

		Although "medieval" and "movies" might not seem to be a good fit -- and a lot of bad films have been made -- it is perhaps worth noting that they have gone together since the earliest surviving American feature film - André Calmettes and James Keane Richard III of 1912.
		Based on a 19th century novel by Felix Dahn it presents the struggle of the daughters of the Gothic king Theodoric for power after his death.

		Typically, all of these Arthurian legends butcher the true history of the time.
		Most of the Arthurian and Celtish novels out there are total fanatsy and very little or not at all based in history.
		Also, the legend we know as Arthur didn't exsist, but the character and original story is based on a real person and events.

		They are making another movie based on Arthurian legend, possibly about Lancelot.
		Who knows, it might be based on the third book of Once and Future King, which is excellent, although I'm not sure how they'd handle the adultery bit.
		I liked how the movie tells just about young Arthur, while other movies based on the same story tells about him as a King.

	Fantasia: Arthurian Legend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Today, we see movies such as First Knight and even Star Wars--yes, Star Wars is very Arthurian--and books of all kinds from romance to fantasy based on the knightly ideals popularized by Arthur legends.
		Although Arthurian legends have roots all over Western Europe and can be traced back to pre-Christian times, the 12th century French writer Chretien de Troyes is credited with inventing Arthurian literature as we know it.
		Although Chretien created the basis for the legends we still love today, he did not invent them himself; he drew on tales he was told that have origins as far back as human memory can go.
