King+Arthur+in+Pop+Culture

Arthurian Legends are stories of King Arthur. These stories come from Geoffrey of Monmouth. He made these stories popular and because of him these stories are part of Pop Culture. Pop Culture is about music, movies, books, and is in literature.

**Some music albums are //The Mists and Legends of King Arthur and The Knights of The Round Table, Imaginations from the Other Side, Once and Future King Part I, and Once and Future King Part II.//** **Some movies are //Quest for Camelot, King Arthur & The Knights of Justice, Arthur! and the Square Knights of the Round Table, and Merlin and the Dragons.//** **Some books are //King Arthur in Popular Culture, The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Sir Perceval of Galles.//**

Some Arthurian Legends are Knights of the Round Table, Sword and the Stone, and The Holy Grail. The Knights of the Round Table is where King Arthur and his knights talk. The Sword and the Stone is when King Arthur pulls the sword out of the stone and becomes king. The Holy Grail is a sacred object that was used at the Last Supper.

Nobody knows if these Legends are real or made up. The Arthurian Legends are not based on real facts. They are based on books. 

We get most of our information from Geoffrey of Monmouth. He wrote a book called Historia Regum Britanniae(which means The History of the King's of Britain). He said that he took most of his information from an earlier British source that is not known to us today.

After Geoffrey of Monmouth, Chretien de Troyes named the characters from the Arthurian Legend. "He specialized in tales of Arthurian courtly love and thus brought us: Erec and Enid, Lancelot, Cliges, Yvain, and the Count of the Grail."(http://www.britannia.com/history/arthur/kapopular.html) He transferred the names from Welsh to medieval French.
