King+Arthur+Legends

Do "quick" research on the following characters from the Arthurian Legends and add your findings to this page. Make sure your source is credible (double check your information), and make sure that you are adding a NEW idea and not just repeating what one of your classmates has already said. I expect each of you to add to this page. We will do an activity with it on Tuesday. (A word of warning: There are many different spellings for some of these characters' names. Again, double checking your information is a must!)
