One of the greatest legends in all of Western literature, if not the greatest. The legend of King Arthur. Having deeply marked the Middle Ages politically, culturally and morally, it served as one of the foundations of English identity and its monarchy starting with the Anglo-Norman king Henry 2 of Plantagenet. Its roots are much older though.

The legend of King Arthur begins in the thick forests of Brittany, where the presence of Merlin the enchanter is still felt as he walks among the mysterious menhirs and giant rocks that dot the landscape crossed by rivers, lakes and castles.
