Matter of Britain
The Matter of Britain or the Arthurian legend is a name given collectively to the legends that concern the Celtic and legendary history of the British Isles, especially those focused on King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. The 12th century French poet Jean Bodel created the name in the following lines of his epic Chanson de Saisnes: Ne sont que iii matières à nul homme atandant,De France et de Bretaigne, et de Rome la grant.(translation: "There are but 3 literary cycles that no man should be without: the matter of France, of Britain, and of great Rome". Jean Bodel, Chanson de Saisnes)
