King Arthur was a legendary figure in Celtic mythology, known as The Eternal King. The tales of this mythical monarch and her Knights of the Round Table are still sung by people to this day.
The Sword in the Stone, the Holy Grail, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Avalon... Even if one does not know who King Arthur really was or what feats she accomplished, these names associated with the name of King Arthur are still widely recognized.
This wise sovereign from Celtic mythology has become a symbol, an emblem of knightly virtues, a timeless legend.
However, for those familiar with the legend of King Arthur, this legendary ruler is rather pitiable.
Legend has it that she was the child born from a union between the former King Uther and the wife of the Duke of Cornwall, aided by Merlin. Although the Duke of Cornwall died soon after Arthur's mother conceived her, and her mother went on to marry King Uther, Arthur's origin was still somewhat awkward.
