King Arthur & Sir Tristram: The Fighter (King Arthur Series)

King Arthur is a legendary British King who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. According to William Claxton, Sir Thomas Malory's original book titled Le Morte D'Arthur (The Death of Arthur) was finished in the ninth year of Edward IV. It was about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. It is considered to be the last important English book written before the introduction of the printing press into England. Claxton's story of how the book was brought to him and why he printed it may be read in his preface in Volume One, Book I. Tristram, is the hero of the Arthurian Tristran and Isoud story. He was a Cornish knight of the Round Table and is the son of Isabelle and Meliodas and the nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, sent to fetch Isoud back from Ireland to wed the king. However, he and Isoud accidentally consume a love potion while en route and fall helplessly in love. The pair undergo numerous trials that test their secret affair. This edition retains the chapters of Malory's Book VIII, Volume I and an attempt has been made to retain his work while making it easier for the reader to follow the story using modern English and updated spelling. It is hoped that the reader will agree.
