⑴ 求亞瑟王的英文簡介
King Arthur is a legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th centuries, who, led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. 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.
Although the themes, events and characters of the Arthurian legend varied widely from text to text, and there is no one authorized version, one version of events often served as the starting point for later stories. It is depicted Arthur as a king of Britain who defeated the Saxons and established an empire over Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Gaul. Many elements and incidents that are now an integral part of the Arthurian story appear in history books, including Arthur's father Uther Pendragon, the wizard Merlin, Arthur's wife Guinevere, the sword Excalibur, Arthur's conception at Tintagel, his final battle against Mordred at Camlann and final rest in Avalon. The 12th-century French writer Chrétien de Troyes, who added Lancelot and the Holy Grail to the story, began the genre of Arthurian romance that became a significant strand of medieval literature. In these French stories, the narrative focus often shifts from King Arthur himself to other characters, such as various Knights of the Round Table. Arthurian literature thrived ring the Middle Ages but waned in the centuries that followed until it experienced a major resurgence in the 19th century. In the 21st century, the legend lives on, not only in literature but also in adaptations for theatre, film, television, comics and other media.

How did it survive?
he legend of King Arthur is one that is known the world over. It is steeped in chivalry and romance. To most people it is just that, a romantic story of a king and his exploits involving magic, magicians in an age where good conquered evil. How this legend grew, will be explained. If there were no historical basis for the legend, I would not include it here. This legend however is thought to have been based on an actual person.
The legend
he development of the story of King Arthur is interesting. Like any good story, it gets better in the telling over the years. The first work that mentions Arthur, was that written by Nennius in the 9th century. It was a single paragraph written in Latin and was thought to have been taken from an even older Welsh story. This story may have been centuries old and would have been past from generation to generation verbally. The paragraph concerns itself with the twelve great battles that were fought by Arthur.
Written down
he first evidence we have concerning the stories was a collection of legends written in Brittany in their local language. Why Brittany, I have no idea. By the middle of the twelfth century the legend began to develop with the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth. His work entitled "Historia Britonum" was the first real reference to the legends connected with King Arthur. Geoffrey of Monmouth stated that the original Brittany work was the inspiration for his. Again it was translated into Latin.
Another translation
ot long after Geoffrey of Monmouth's work - the Norman chronicler Wace, translated the work into Norman French.
The culprits
owards the end of the twelfth century, a writer by the name of Walter Map took the work of Wace and others and romanticised them into French prose. It was his working of the old stories that were mainly responsible for legend we have today. Very early into the 13th century, the parish priest of early in Worcestershire wrote the poem now known as "Brut". Written in Old English, as opposed to early Anglo Saxon, he again developed the story making Arthur the hero we love to read about now. One fact that did not seem to get distorted was the original origin of Arthur. In all of the translations his Welsh, Celtic origin was acknowledged.
Sir Thomas Malory
he following three hundred years saw the working at reworking of the original story. Each version becoming more and more glossy as extra detail was added by each writer. In 1470, Sir Thomas Malory completed a work now known as "Morte Darthur" which was probably more responsible for the concept of chivalry than any other work. It is a long book and is difficult to understand, very much like certain scenes in the Bayeux Tapestry, they relates to occurrences that are not understandable by us today. This reference work was the inspiration for Tennyson's " Ideology of the Kings".
The birth of King Arthur
t befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England, that there was a mighty ke in Cornwall that held war against him a long time. And the ke was named the Duke of Tintagil. Ten miles away from his castle, called Terrabil, there was, in the castle Tintagil, Igraine of Cornwall, that King Uther liked and loved well, for she was a good and fair lady, and passing wise. He made her great cheer out of measure, and desired to have her love in return; but she would not assent unto him, and for pure anger and for great love of fair Igraine King Uther fell sick. At that time there lived a powerful magician named Merlin, who could appear in any place he chose, could change his looks as he liked, and at will could do wonderful things to help or to harm knights and ladies. So to King Uther came Sir Ulfius, a noble knight, and said, " I will seek Merlin, and he shall do you remedy so that your heart shall be pleased." So Ulfius departed, and by adventure met Merlin in beggar's array, and made him promise to be not long behind in riding to Uther's pavilion. Soon Merlin stood by the king's side and said : " I know all your heart, and promise ye shall have your desire, if ye will be sworn to fulfil my wish." This the king solemnly agreed to do, and then Merlin said: "After ye shall win Igraine as wife, a child shall be born to you that is to be given unto me to be brought up as I will; this shall be for your honour and the child's avail." That night King Uther met in battle the Luke of Tintagil, who had protected Igraine in her castle, and overcame him. Then Igraine welcomed Uther as her true lover, for Merlin had given him the appearance of one dear to her, and, the barons being all well accorded, the two were married on a morning with great mirth and joy. When the time came that Igraine should bear a son, Merlin came again unto the King to claim his promise, and he said: "I know a lord of yours in this land, a passing true man and a faithful, named Sir Ector, and he shall have the nourishing of your child. Let the young Prince be delivered to me at yonder privy postern, when I come for him." So the babe, Arthur Pendragon, bound in a cloth of gold, was taken by two knights and two ladies to the postern gate of the castle and delivered unto Merlin, disguised as a poor man, and by him was carried forth to Sir Ector, whose wife nourished him as her own child. Then within two years King Uther fell sick of a great malady. Wherefore all the barons made great sorrow, and asked Merlin what counsel were best, for few of them had ever seen or heard of the young child, Arthur. On the morn all by Merlin's counsel came before the King, and Merlin said: "Sir, shall your son Arthur be king, after your days, of this realm with all the appurtenance ? " Then Uther Pendragon turned him and said in hearing of them all, "I give him God's blessing and mine, and bid him righteously and honourably to claim the crown upon forfeiture of my blessing." Therewith he died, and he was buried as befitted a king, and the queen, fair Igraine, and all the barons made great sorrow.

What proof exists about King Arthur?
he development of the legend above gives some idea how stories become distorted over the years. The question is, did he really exist? I have briefly mentioned him in the main text and who he could possibly have been. Here I will attempt to go into more detail. There is not a lot of proof that he really existed but certain historical facts lead one to the conclusion that a character did exist who was involved in fighting the Saxons.
Battle of Mount Baldon
here was a battle fought against the Saxons in 518 known as the battle of Mount Badon. This is a obscure part of British history because we do not know who was the leader of this combined Celtic force that defeated the Saxons. The first detail we have about Arthur possibly being the general in this conflict comes from Nennius . As his work was written over 300 years after the event, and considering the way information was passed to later generations, the question has to be asked. Can we trust this account. One thing remains and this is the name Arthur. If we can't categorically prove that he existed, we might be able to vouch for the authenticity of a character alive at that time who fills the criteria, that is the legend we know today. Any work later than Nennisus's or the Brittany chronicles can be discounted.
Omnipotent
rthur has been attributed to many areas and to many races. It seems that his reputation is such that people would like to be associated with him, or at least what he stood for. During the early stages after the evacuation of the Romans, the Saxons took the opportunity to step into their place. This could only be done by subjugating the indigenous Celts by brutal means. They were pushed north and west into Cornwall and Wales. Removed form their homelands, their situation became dire. The gains and cultural advancement made ring Roman occupation dissipated in hunger and barbaric treatment. The Celtic people fought for their lives but were fighting a losing battle. This existence would have destroyed them if this new strong leader had not come along when he did.
The facts
ryt is the early name for a Briton or in other words Brythonic people are almost always associated with Celts. These people were not only form Britain but had dealings with other Celtic strains in Europe, especially Brittany in France. If Nennius whetted our appetite for this saviour, a more reliable source who was born the same year as the Battle of Mount Badon and was named Gildas, makes no mention of Arthur. When the Saxons reached their limit of advancement, the Celts of Cornwall were cut off from the Welsh strain by the Bristol Channel, who in turn were annexed from the Northern Celts. We have therefore, three separate peoples of the same racial origin, all cut off from each other on the British Mainland. The Legend of Arthur states that his castle was in Camelot. This would have made him a Cornwall Celt. The early folk stories contradict this in stating that he was from Wales. Legends of characters exist that could possibly place him between the two Roman walls in Scotland. The French like to think he came from Brittany originally. The sad part of all this is that we do not know the location of Mount Badon. If we did, we would have a better idea of his origins. We could therefore speculate that it was not Cornwall because it has no mountains.
Where Arthur was killed
rthur was said to have been killed in the Battle of Camlan in 537. Again the location of this battle is not known. It is interesting to note that the word Kambria or ( Cambria ) was used almost exclusively to mean Wales in the 12th century. Possibly, Camlan was in Wales? To avoid going round in circles through lack of evidence and to avoid repeating myself. In the section entitled "The Saxons", I have included further information on this subject with possible contenders.

A Legendary King
The story of King Arthur is one that has been told for hundreds of years. There have been poems, books and even films made of his life, all of them telling the story a little differently.
The basic story is this. There was a sword stuck in a stone. The legend said that whoever could remove the sword would become King of England and save the country. Many brave knights tried to pull the sword out, but they all failed. One day, a young boy called Arthur was walking past the stone. He didn't know it, but he was in fact the son of an old king. He pulled the sword out of the stone and became the new King of England.
The stories of Arthur as King are tales of bravery and nobility. His closest advisor was Merlin, a powerful wizard. Arthur lived in a castle called Camelot with his beautiful wife, Guinevere. In the castle he had a round table, where he sat with his knights. It was round so that there was no one at the head of the table (which is where the most important person would usually sit) and Arthur and his knights were all equal.
Arthur, with his famous magical sword Excalibur, and his closest knights Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad, fought against the forces of evil in England. These were led by Arthur's half-sister, Morgan, who was a witch. After many battles, there was only one left to fight. Arthur and his knights finally won the battle against Morgan's army, and England was safe! However, Arthur had been hurt, and was dying. He threw his sword into a lake, where the magical Lady of the Lake could look after it, and then he died. He was buried in Avalon, in the south-west of England. According to the legend, Arthur will rise again to save England if it is ever in danger in the future.

Short Bio of King Arthur - King of the Britons
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 twelth century). His works became popular, cementing the legend of Arthur in popular folklore. Throughout the ages, the legend of Arthur, has captivated the interest of writers and poets. In the nineteenth centure, Tennyson, was instrumental in reviving interest in King Arthur through his poem, 「Idylls of the King」
Because of the lack of authentic and first hand historical evidence, the life of King Arthur is open to many different interpretations. Some historians, even doubt whether he actually exisited in persons. However, the most popular legends include the following sotries.
Firstly, Arthur was able to claim his rightful place as King of Britain because he was the only one able to withdraw, Excaliber, from the stone. Thus, unexpectedly, but as had been foretolled, Arthur found himself King. Throughout his reign, Arthur received advice and counsel from the elusive and mystical figure of Merlin. At the time of 6th century Wales, it was quite common for Welsh Kings to have a counsellor, often called 「Murthur」. These counsellors, often had specialised information and were well versed in the arts of divination. The legend of Merlin, is probably based on these elusive court counsellors.

King Arthur was a fabled British leader and a prominent figure in Britain's legendary history. A real indivial may have been the inspiration of the legend, but any core of history is deeply submerged in the later fictional narratives of Arthur. In these he appears as the ideal of kingship both in war and peace; even in modern times he has been ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Britons of all time. Over time, the stories of King Arthur have captured such widespread interest that he is no longer identified as the legendary hero of a single nation. Countless new legends, stories, revisions, books, and films have been proced in Europe and the United States that unabashedly enlarge on and expand the fictional accounts of King Arthur.
