  Arthurian Legend
Arthurian Legend, group of tales in several languages that concern the legendary King Arthur of the Britons, his realm, and the knights of his inner circle.
The Arthurian story is not only retold and reinterpreted, it is also regularly recast in science fiction and fantasy, in political tracts and social satire, and in light comedies and serious efforts to depict the sometimes dark realities of the medieval world.
Arthurian art, like the literature devoted to the legend, became less popular after the Middle Ages ended in the 15th century, but, again like the literature, it experienced a dramatic rebirth in the 19th century and has flourished ever since.

Lot Luwddoc (of the Host) is the famous king of legend who married Anna-Morgause, the half-sister of the great King Arthur, and became father of Gawain.
Lot, however, had a more obscure ancestry descending ultimately from Caradog, the pre-Roman King of the Catuvellauni tribe, who was taken as a captive to Rome in AD 43.
Lot ruled Gododdin, in Northern Britain, from his capital at Trapain Law, near Haddington (Lothian), where a post-Roman booty, possibly from his treasury, has been uncovered; but he was also said to have held court at Din Eityn (the Castle Rock in Edinburgh).

Modern scholarship has generally assumed that there was some actual person at the heart of the legends, though not of course a king with a band of knights in shining armor.
If there is a historical basis to the character, it is clear that he would have gained fame as a warrior battling the Germanic invaders of the late fifth and early sixth centuries.
Upon the death of Lot, he becomes the head of the Orkney clan, which includes in many sources his brothers Aggravain, Gaheris, and Gareth, and his half-brother mordred.

 Celtic Origins of Arthurian Literature
These latter three accounts of Arthurian living are contrasted to the works of Lawman, Wace, Sir Thomas Malory, and even the earlier (and less informative) works of Gildas Badonicus (6th c), Bede (7th c), Nennius (late 8th c), or in Y Goddodin (7th c).
Despite the differences in armor, personality, and even the use of basic characters almost all of the Arthurian legends draw on a similar Celtic background for their plot.
One scholar even goes so far as to claim that the Arthurian legends are entirely based on a group that wandered up from the middle east called the Norts.

After the difficulties we had arranging the interview, this is a disappointment, but I remain grateful to the author for finding the time to talk to me on a chilly March afternoon in Toronto about poetry she had forgotten she ever wrote.
I read Arthurian poems, such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Tennyson's Idylls of the King, for the honours programme at the University of Toronto; I later reread Idylls of the King during graduate studies in Victorian literature at Harvard University.
The Arthurian legend was one among many myths and traditions that I drew upon for my poetry, during this early period when I was trying to establish my own voice.

 English 432: Arthurian Legend in Literature, Fall 2003
In addition to grounding our discussions in the texts and their literary contexts, we will confront many themes along the way: chivalry, courtly love, the quest, the heroic, national identity, the community vs. the individual, the secular vs. the religious, Druidism vs. Christianity, and the politics of desire and gendered relationships.
Talking a lot doesn't guarantee an A, rather, talking in a way that develops the conversation, builds on the comments of others, and is thoroughly grounded in the text under discussion.
Perhaps the most noteworthy characteristics of the A participant is that s/he always has very clear evidence from the text (being able to point to relevant passages and concrete details).
