Curiosities about the book: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Hi People,
I love the sotories about the king Arthur. These records the name of a war leader Artorious, who lived around the year 500AD. Perhaps the name "Artorious" became "Arthur" in the stories of King Arthur.
A magician named Merlin helped Arthur to rule the land of Britain. These describes how a good knight must behave. A good knight was chivalrous and polite. He was a warrior and a powerfull member of a society.
Stories about him have been retold many times. They are the subjects of books, plays, films, operas and poems.
 In the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandalf the Wizard is based on Merlin the Magician.

In the Star Wars films, the Jedi Knights are based on the Knights of the Round Table.

Many of the characters from my book, ASDRA, are based in the Arthur´s stories too.
Now, you can see some words about the knights vocabulary:

This picture and some of these information are from the book "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" from Macmillan Readers. It´s a good book for you to learn more about this interesting character.
See you soon.
