The Arthurian Romance is a genre of literature that dates back to the Middle Ages, and is based on the legendary King Arthur and his court at Camelot. The stories are often centered around the quest for the Holy Grail, a magical object that grants its possessor eternal life. Other themes include chivalry, courtly love, and loyalty to one's lord. The earliest known version of an Arthurian story was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1136 AD. This work was followed by many others throughout the centuries, including works from authors such as Chretien de Troyes and Thomas Malory. These stories have been adapted into numerous forms over time, including plays, films, television series and video games. The popularity of these tales has endured for centuries due to their timeless themes and characters which continue to resonate with audiences today.
