-> "Everyone knows ''something'' about King Arthur. Whether you watched ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' as a kid, listened to ''Theatre/{{Camelot}}'' as an adult, or just existed in [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire a part of the world where Britain was briefly in charge]], you know about King Arthur. But if you ever tried to look into King Arthur to try and find some sort of canon for the story, you were probably both confused and disappointed. Maybe you read somewhere that Merlin aged backwards, but then couldn't find any evidence to suppourt that. Maybe you wanted to know about the Holy Grail and ended up reading 50 pages about some FisherKing guy instead. Maybe you wanted to learn the sordid history of Arthur and Morgan Le Fay's secret tryst that famously produced the traitorous Mordred, and were utterly baffled to find zero connection between Mordred and Morgan at all. Whatever the case, while Arthurian mythos is very widespread and most people have at least some knowledge of the basic structure of the story, when you start tugging at the threads, the entire setup starts to lose cohesion. So what '''is''' Arthurian canon, and, more importantly, do we actually care?"

->''YET some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall win the holy cross. I will not say it shall be so, but rather I will say: here in this world he changed his life. But many men say that there is written upon his tomb this verse:'' Here lies Arthur; [[KingInTheMountain King once, and King to be.]]
