Knights of the round table
The legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table lie tantalisingly outside recorded time, beyond the horizon of history, inhabiting a turbulent, twilight world amidst the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Barbarians are at the gates, Britain in peril, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, was destined to be saviour of the nation in a series of mighty battles and to establish a wondrous kingdom bright with chivalry, goodness and perfect love, whose inhabitants were more symbol than substance, their adventures allegorical, their lives one long quest for eternal truth.
