The Legend of King Arthur
The Legend of King Arthur and the Knights at the Round Table has touched everyone who's heard about them. The Holy Grail has been paid a lot of attention through Dan Brown's book The Da Vinci Code. Maybe he's right about his conclusion about the Grail... or maybe not.
This section of Nightbringer is one of the largest Arthurian online encyclopedias which covers characters, locations, items and events. If there is anything missing or wrong, don't hesitate to contact me!
My humble thanks to Christopher W. Bruce for the approval of using his book "Arthurian Name Dictionary"!
