 Pendragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pendragon or Pen Draig, meaning "head dragon" or "chief dragon" (referring to a battle standard), is a Celtic title, and hence the name of several traditional Kings of the Britons:
Aurelius Ambrosius, the son of Constantine II of Britain, is called "Pendragon" in the Vulgate Cycle.
Uther, brother of Aurelius and father of King Arthur, is called Uther Pendragon because he was inspired by a dragon-shaped comet (In the Vulgate, he took the name from his brother).

 Pendragon (fiction series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pendragon fiction series was a trade paperback line that offered reprints of "lost" classics of Arthurian fiction, as well as original novels and anthologies.
First published by Chaosium, the line was taken over by Green Knight Publishing when they acquired rights to the Pendragon role-playing game in 1998.
One additional title in the series — a reprint of William Henry Babcock's 1898 novel Cian of the Chariots — was announced for 2002, but has not seen print.

Pendragon is a role-playing game in which the characters all play knights (although there are some additional options for female characters).
Hamilton, who is currently writing the 4th book in the series but is quite ill so there is no knowing when it may be done, does a masterful job portraying the period and the conflicting roles religion and magic played in people's lives.

 [No title]
Generally, Pendragon, The Courts of King Arthur, and other works in the Pendragon series streamline the various plot and character conflicts existing in original literature, mythology and history along the narrative overview of the Arthurian tales as presented in Sir Thomas Malory's 15th Century epic, Le Morte D'Arthur.
It belonged to his father Uther Pendragon years before, and it was created by Merlin specifically to bring together the best one hundred and fifty knights of the realm together at one magical table in a brotherhood dedicated to the ideals of chivalry.
For purposes of your Pendragon game, unless you choose to play "canonical" characters directly, there is no chance of having a character directly related to the great families, since their fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, and children (or explicit lack thereof) are already well reknown and chronicled.

 Bright Weavings: The Worlds of Guy Gavriel Kay - Scholarship - The High Fantasies of Lawhead and Kay, by John Doherty.
This is because of the constant religious symbolism that contributed to the overall lack of plot development and a narratorial ineptitude, for its existence is an indulgence of the author, who spends a lot of time in expanding them rather than getting on with his story.
With The Pendragon Cycle this religiousness is slowly released on the unsuspecting reader: Taliesin (T), the first in the series, is a well written action fantasy and little else.
Pendragon was finally published in 1994 and is basically a re-hash of the story told in Merlin and Arthur.

 Amazon.co.uk: Grail (Pendragon Cycle): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The first three books in the series functioned perfectly well as a trilogy, and the end of "Arthur" finished the story as strangely and perfectly as the legendary tales ever did.
To begin, I'd like to say that the Pendragon Cycle is a brilliant work, and the other books in it stand without this, frankly, unnecessary work.
This is not surprising because "Grail" (like the preceding volume "Pendragon") actually precedes the events described at the end of book 3, "Arthur", and consequently both "Pendragon" and "Grail" have a distinctively "add on" feeling.

 The Pendragon Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Apparently the first of a series, although I haven't seen any more and I'm somewhat disinclined to read further anyway.
The author's got a few nice ideas — I particularly liked the bulldancers — but the writing style's really clumsy (dialogue especially), and I didn't feel by the end of the book that I'd really got to know — or to care about — any of the characters.
If you've read any of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, you'll be able to spot a few characters that the two series have in common (since they both use the Arthurian legend as source material).
