ARTHUR: KING OF BRITAIN
From Michael Fraley comes this history of the famous character known as King Arthur. This fully illustrated comic is based of the original adventure of Arthur as written by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century. Geoffreys work is considered one of the most important books of the medieval period and served as the skeleton of which all Arthurian tales have been based. This was the work created before later authors added their own embellishments.
In Geoffreys work, there was no Camelot, no round table, no grail, and no Knights of Chivalry.
But there is Arthur and this is his tale.The character of Arthur is considered to be based on a real person that Geoffrey discovered in his research. The mentor and magician, Merlin, was a creation of Geoffrey that was added to serve as a narration device for unveiling the tale.
