| Sir Thomas Malory |
| |
| d. 1471, English author of Morte d’Arthur. It is almost certain that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revell, Warwickshire. Knighted in 1442, he served in the Parliament of 1445.… Malory’s original book was called The Book of King Arthur and His Noble Knights of the Round Table and was made up of eight romances that were more or less separate. William Caxton printed the work in 1485 and gave it the misleading title of Morte d’Arthur.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
