by Rupert Sargent Holland (after Malory) · audio summary, about 13 min

The rise and fall of King Arthur and his noble knights of the Round Table, from the drawing of the sword in the stone to the tragic final battle.

Key ideas

• Knights must uphold their oaths, protect the weak, and show mercy to maintain their standing at the Round Table.
• Internal conflicts, jealousy, and forbidden love ultimately destroy the unity of Arthur's kingdom.
• Only the most sinless and pure knights, like Galahad, can achieve the holy quest of the Sangreal.
