FIRST KNIGHT

1. What is a legend?
The Arthurian knights, who sat with King Arthur around a circular table, became the focal point of fellowship between knights. Some of them are famous as heroes and champions of just cause. In theory, they were brothers; however, jealousy, envy and hatred existed with the fellowship. There were enemies within the Round Table as well as those who were not member of the fellowship. In the end, it was adultery committed by one of its members, Lancelot, with Arthur's queen, the enmity of Gawain, and the betrayal of Mordred that finally brought about downfall of Arthur's kingdom.

2. Was King Arthur only legend?
 Yes, He has . If the Knights of the Round Table ever existed in real life, it wasn't in the time of King Arthur. Medieval knights as characterise in Arthurian Legend belong to a period running from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries - the historical King Arthur is placed much earlier, around the fifth century. Nonetheless, the image of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table appeals to the imagination and has become an accepted one, if only in literature and legend.
3. What is a knight?
A man given a rank of honour by a British king or queen because of his special achievements, and who has the right to be called 'Sir', or (in the past) a man of high social position trained to fight as a soldier on a horse
