"Throngs of knights and barons bold,
In weeds of peace high triumphs hold,
With store of ladies, whose bright eyes
Rain influence and judge the prize."--John Milton

The Age of Chivalry, Thomas Bulfinch's masterpiece of history and fable, recounts
the tales of Arthur and the Round Table. A timeless tale retold by Milton, Dryden, Tennyson,
and writers before and since, the Arthurian legend has metamorphosed from medieval Welsh
texts to the French vernacular romances of Chrtien de Troyes; from obscure histories of a
British chieftain of the fifth or sixth century, to a chronicle of the advent of Christendom in the
British Isles.

This book not only tells the tales of King Arthur but also explains the historical events and the
mindset of the people during the period of their creation.
