The Grail: A comprehensive look at the Grail that reveals its fundamentally Celtic nature beneath layers of Christian interpretations. "The Matter of Britain, as the Arthurian legends are called, holds as much power for the contemporary reader as it did for medieval lords and ladies. In this book, French scholar Markale looks at the various extant written forms of one of the key constituents of the Matter of Britain, the story of the Holy Grail. His specific project is to separate the legend's various elements and determine which parts are pagan in origin and which are Christian, allowing us to penetrate to the true meaning of the Grail and its Quest, legacies of a rich Celtic spirituality that has nourished the Western psyche for centuries. He reveals the original British warrior-hero who resisted the Saxons in the fifth century. He also examines how these myths were later used by the Knights Templar, as well as how their links with Alchemy and Catharism played a decisive role in the shaping of Western thought. The Grail: The Celtic Origins of the Sacred Icon Historic King Arthur: Authenticating the Celtic Hero of Post-Roman Britain: Assembles, analyzes, and interprets an impressive array of primary documents from post-Roman Britain to argue that the legendary hero was a historical person who became king of Britain as Ambrosius Aurelianus at age 15, fought Saxons on the continent as Riothamus, and died at the battle of Camlann. Also integrates the various records to construct chronologies both of events and of accounts. The material and commentary could be very useful to scholars of the period even if they are not convinced by the argument.

Le Morte D'Arthur by Thomas Malory: First published by William Caxton in 1485, Sir Thomas Malory's unique and splendid version of the Arthurian legend tells an immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery, and death.

Historic Figures of the Arthurian Era: Authenticating the Enemies and Allies of Britain's Post-Roman King Merlin: Priest of Nature: If he was a real person, when and where did he live? In this provocative survey of all the known literary and historical sources, Markale draws an enlightening portrait of the shaman known as Merlin, who lived in the Lowlands of Scotland late in the sixth century, some fifty years after the reign of King Arthur. Merlin: Priest of Nature King Arthur: The Truth behind the Legend: King Arthur: The Truth behind the Legend In this investigation Rodney Castelden uses up-to-date archaeological and documentary evidence to recreate the history and society of Dark Age Britain and its kings. He revives the possibility that Tintagel was an Arthurian residence, and proposes a radical new theory - that Arthur escaped alive from his final battle. A location is even suggested for perhaps the greatest mystery, the location of Arthur's grave. The Picts and the Scots: In the light of recent archaeological discoveries this book examines the evidence for the relationship between these two peoples, tracing their development from raids on Roman Britain to the formation of rival Dark Age kingdoms that produced a unique artistic inheritance.
