Knights of the Round Table
When Welsh historian Nennius gave his list of 12 battles, he spoke of the warrior Arthur, King of Camelot, who led British forces in a grand fight against the Saxon invaders of the early sixth century.
Six centuries later, the Norman conquest of 1066 connected England to northern France, and in its wake came the book that would make Arthur a legend across the world; Geoffrey of Monmouth’s “History of the Kings of Britain” would bring him fame.
