•••••
Rarely does rigorous, professional, peer-reviewed study into a historic person's life uncover a true story as compelling as modern mystery-adventure fiction. The stories of the tragic Round Table, the mythical King Arthur, and the hopeless love of Guinevere, his queen, and Sir Lancelot, his greatest knight, have captivated readers for centuries. However, the author of this immortal work is shrouded in obscurity. Uncontestable evidence suggests that his genuine identity has been misidentified for hundreds of years.
In these engrossing pages, you'll discover more about the mysterious author and the secret reason why he didn't want publicity for himself. You'll be astounded by the unexpected discovery of an older version of his masterpiece--the greatest fifteenth-century literary work in English--as well as the shocking location where its source was concealed for 700 years.

While it is certain that a Sir Thomas Malory wrote it, that name was used by more than one person during that time period. Dr. Cecelia Linton distinguishes fact from fiction in this enigma. She provides answers to questions such as:
Did the real author actually spend ten years in prison?
Was he disinherited because he was considered a “by-blow”?
What do clues such as his dialect tell us about the author’s identity?
Was the author of Le Morte Darthur really a member of the Order of the Knights Hospitallers?
Who helped inspire the quest for the Holy Grail? (You will be surprised!)
Do the author’s characters and plot reflect his beliefs and lifestyle?

Dr. Linton's vast research and discoveries will teach you fascinating things about Malory's family and society. Most importantly, you will see authentic documentation of the man who claimed authorship of Le Morte Darthur, as well as photographs from his life.
Dr. Linton investigates the various sources for Malory's tale further. She describes how Malory adds his own distinctive nuances that show he was primarily interested in the change of the soul. You'll also enjoy learning about Malory's craft and whether his life was more like that of Arthur's or Lancelot's.
Furthermore, you will discover the incredible connection between King Arthur and the Cistercians and come to understand monasticism—particularly as it is expressed in the life of St. Bernard of Clairvaux—like never before. Above all, the faith will shine through Malory's stories as he underscores the precious brotherhood and calling of the Order of Knights Hospitallers' acclaimed healers and intrepid warriors.
