King Arthur is a semi mythical figure, who is believed to have been a model King in the early history of Britain. Much of his early legend comes from the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century.

King Arthur's biggest legend:
One of the most enduring legends of King Arthur is the mystical quest for the holy grail. Legend suggests that this is a cup used to capture the blood of Jesus Christ. Thus to find the cup, was entrusted as the most sacred of tasks to the knights of the Round Table. For many the quest for the Holy grail is an allegory of the inner spiritual quest to discover the inner meaning of life. This myth has captivated the interest of people through the ages and has been the subject of many films including, the satirical Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
