	Thomas Malory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The antiquary John Leland believed him to be Welsh, but most modern scholarship and this article assumes that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire.
		Little else is known of Malory's life, but he is believed to have been a Lancastrian during the Wars of the Roses, or perhaps a retainer of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick who openly defected to the Lancastrian camp from that of the Yorkists in 1469.
		Malory is believed to have obtained the material for his work from many French sources in addition to earlier English Arthurian Romances, most notably the stanzaic Morte Arthur and the alliterative Morte Arthure.

	AllRefer.com - Sir Thomas Malory (English Literature To 1499, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		It is almost certain that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revell, Warwickshire.
		Malory's original book was called The Book of King Arthur and His Noble Knights of the Round Table and was made up of eight romances that were more or less separate.
		The last medieval English work of the Arthurian legend, Malory's tales are supposedly based on an assortment of French prose romances.

	EBK: Sir Thomas Malory
		This points to him being the Sir Thomas Malory who was a probable Lancastrian conspirator in Cook's plot, excluded from the 1468 general pardon.
		Malory of Newbold Revel was born around 1420, the son of John Malory of that manor and his wife, Phillipa Chetwynd.
		Sir Thomas inherited a considerable estate in Warwickshire upon his father's death in 1434, and he seems to have quickly become drawn into the turmoil of local politics.

	Thomas Malory
		Sir Thomas Malory, the author or compiler of the Morte Darthur, was born most probably about the year 1430 and died about 1471.
		Little else is known of Malory's life, but he is believed to have been a Lancastrian[?] during the Wars of the Roses.
		But as man suffered, her tender heart was again drawn to him, to whom--as she repeated to herself, was able to help him; and her desire to put the as too amazing to be grounded in fact--was seconded by the less.

	Sir Thomas Malory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The former Thomas Malory had a scabrous criminal record and was long kept prisoner awaiting trial, while the latter had links to a rich collection of Arthurian books.
		So whichever Malory wrote the Morte d'Arthur, he was certainly working in the unsettled years of the War of the Roses, in which the great ducal families of York and Lancaster battled for control of the English throne.
		Malory sensed the high aspirations, especially the bonds of honor and fellowship in battle, that held together Arthur's realm.

	The medieval legends
		Malory mentions the abduction in his Morte Dartur, but not the swordbridge, either because he was in a hurry to tell the story and left out lots of details or because he thought crossing a bridge as sharp as a razorblade was just too improbable.
		Malory was not an innovator like Chrétien or the authors of the Lancelot en Prose (which was Malory's main source, but certainly not the only one).
		Malory paid no heed to pictorial details and tedious descriptions, he was in it for the action.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sir Thomas Malory
		Upon an unsound derivation of Bale's, Malory was long considered a Welshman: a belief largely sustained through the gratification of identifying the birthplace of the romancer with the scenes of the Arthurian epic.
		The obscurity of the author is in somewhat dramatic contrast to the unfailing clarity of appreciation which his "Morte Arthure" has aroused for the past four centuries.
		"Malory's prose is conscious without the jarring egoism of the younger prose; it adopts new words without the risk of pedantry and harshness, and it expresses the varying importance of the passages of the story in corresponding fluctuation in the intensity of its language."

	Arthurian Legend
		Her Morte d'Arthur illustrations were inspired by Malory's story and are wonderfully expressive of the classic version of the King Arthur legend.
		Though Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur is not the original Arthurian legend - begun over 300 years earlier by Geoffrey of Monmouth - it has become known as the authoritative version.
		Malory was the writer who really brought together all the different Arthurian stories and related Celtic myths into one more-or-less coherent narrative, even though they don't always fit together properly: they're a sometimes contradictory and unrelated hotch-potch of events occuring over a long timescale.

	Stanzaic Morte Arthure & Alliterative Morte Arthure: Introduction
		Malory's great synthesis of earlier romances shaped the Arthurian legend for later English writers - for Spenser, for Milton, for Tennyson, for Mark Twain, for writers and readers of our own day; Malory's genius was such that almost all subsequent English treatments of Arthurian themes have been based on his work.
		Apparently Malory's first attempt to write an Arthurian romance of his own was what is now the second tale in the Morte Darthur, the "Tale of Arthur and the Emperor Lucius." This is a straightforward modernization, with relatively few changes, of the first half of the Alliterative Morte Arthure.
		As Vinaver has shown (in the introduction to his edition of Malory), Malory's adaptation of the alliterative poem had a profound influence on his style, and though he next turned to French sources, his experience with the alliterative rhythms of this romance is apparent throughout his later work.

		In reaction to this statement, it has been suggested that perhaps some or all of "Le Morte Darthur" was written while Malory was in prison.
		Certainties about Malory's life are few, although there has been some intelligent speculation centering around a Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire.
		This knight had some difficulties with a local priory (and possibly some misadventures caused by the swirling tides of Lancastrian-Yorkist politics) resulting in a period of imprisonment (there are records confirming several periods of confinement for Malory in London's Newgate Prison).

		Thomas Charles-Edwards has suggested (1991, pp.25-8) that they be seen as dual elaborations of single original, the entry in neither case being very much older than the text it is contained in (829/30 for the Historia and the 950s for the Annales).

		Cameron writes that "Malory made no attempt to analyze the characters; Tennyson robbed his characters of most of their reality" (447).
		By envisioning for Arthur's story an idealized century imagined from Malory's fifteenth century, White was opening the door wide for all kinds of anachronisms.
		A glance at White's Malory essay in his journals reveals immediately the sensitivity which White showed to both what he believed Malory to be doing and what he himself was planning to do to Malory.

		Since the development of the first site in October 2000, the activities it was designed to represent became broadened in scope from simple reflecting my own interest in the Arthurian legends to providing answers to enquiries about King Arthur and Camelot that were made by some of the visitors to the site.
		In response to this, I have now included some information about the development of the Arthurian story from its first known written references, plus an outline of Sir Thomas Malory’s version of the legend, Le Morte D’Arthur, and a list of the principal characters named in Malory’s version.
		The content of these new pages is not exhaustive, but is, I hope, sufficient to provide answers to those questions that have been most frequently asked over the past three years and which may continue to be the source of future enquiries.
