Ask the detailed background of King Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.

King Arthur Panlong (Japanese English), also known as arthur pendragon, is known as King Arthur in history and is said to be the most legendary great king in medieval England. People's perceptual knowledge of him comes more from Celtic mythology and some medieval documents, and no one has set foot in King Arthur's real life. Legend has it that he is the leader of the knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend. How and where the legend of King Arthur was born in the first place is impossible to verify. Whether King Arthur is a fictional character based on historical figures is unknown. If King Arthur really existed, historians speculate that he lived around 500 A.D. with a period of about 50 years (consistent with the known version of King Arthur). Around 600 AD, the name "Arthur" first appeared in a song entitled? Gao Duoding "(? Gododdin)。 This poem, written by a Welsh bard, is the earliest written record of "Arthur". The Welsh story collection Mabinogion contains several ancient stories about the legend of King Arthur, among which Kurch and Jin Meixin, which can be traced back to the middle of 1 1 century, is the earliest story about King Arthur in Wales. This story consists of several traditional folk stories, telling the love between Kurvich and the giant girl Allvine. In this story, Arthur is not the central figure of the story, but several important figures in The Legend of Arthur make their debut. Arthurian legend has always made the British proud and made them cherish the glory of the past. The story of King Arthur and his followers, the Knights of the Round Table, is widely circulated in Western Europe. In some Irish legends, there are many stories about him. For example, King Arthur once stole the hounds of Finn Maccumhail. Finn Maccumhail is a legendary fighting group composed of a group of outstanding Irish warriors, killing fierce beasts and lions, and killing giants and wizards. As the leader of the wolves, he led all the knights to fight for their lives, which has many similarities with Finn Maccumhail. Around 800 AD, Welsh monks wrote a Burlington History, in which the name "Arthur" was recorded for the first time, describing the Saxons who led the Welsh to resist the invasion from the middle reaches of the Thames. Arthur was mentioned twice in the chronicle of Wales written by Welsh monks around 950 AD. /kloc-In the 20th century, arthurian legend was popular in Europe because of the literary works of Geoffrey of Monmouth. He collected the stories about "Arthur" circulated around the country and compiled The History of the Kings of England. The contents of this book include Arthur's life experience, Mordred's rebellion, Queen Guinevere's infidelity, and Arthur's recovery in Avalon after his death. In his works, the magician Merlin has become a new role in arthurian legend, but the Knight of the Round Table and Lancelot have not yet appeared. French poet Chretien de Trouvat drew fantasy elements from Celtic legends and added the theme of the Holy Grail to create five Arthurian legends. The deeds of knights of the Round Table, such as Lancelot and Parsifa, became the center of gravity, while King Arthur became a supporting role instead. Weiss, Layamon and others have written stories about the Holy Grail. Among the books and stories about Arthur, perhaps the most praiseworthy one is Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Mallory Thomas, an English writer. This book was written about 1470 and printed by British printer william caxton in 1485. He hopes that readers can learn valuable experience from the honor and grace of Arthur's time. The mass printing of this book has a great influence on the legend of King Arthur. Mallory claimed to have translated it from a French work, but the exact bibliography is still unknown.

Merlin (also known as Merlin) is King Arthur's best friend. Merlin's prototype description first appeared in the book History of Britain written by Geoffrey of Monmouth, a medieval writer. Sheffield probably combined the characteristics of many characters to create Merlin (English: Merlin Ambrosius, Celtic: Myrddin Emrys). The translation of Xie Fei's works was very popular as soon as it was published (especially in Wales), and he soon began to create a more comprehensive wizard image for Merlin: he was born from the combination of nightmare and mortal woman, and this lineage made Merlin inherit supernatural strength and skills; In addition, through a series of schemes and tricks, Merlin enthusiastically directed the birth of King Arthur and tried to make him a wise king until Merlin himself was bewitched and imprisoned by the goddess of the lake.

Knights of the Round Table are a group of outstanding knights, led by British legend King Arthur. According to legend, King Guinevere, the father of King Arthur's queen, had a huge round table for his knights to meet, and King Arthur got this huge round table from him when he married the queen. The round table means "equality" and "unity". It is said that King Arthur's knights reached 150 at most. Knights charge on the battlefield and discuss domestic affairs at the round table. Although they will also form some factions because of the coincidence or inconsistency of political views, there is no difference between status and monarch and minister at the round table, allowing everyone to speak freely. But in fact, round tables are not completely equal. Percival, the knight who went to look for the Holy Grail, sat with the junior knight at first, and was later led to sit next to the "dangerous seat", which was later given to galahad, the son of Lancelot, the purest knight, and he finally found the Holy Grail.
