Le Morte D’Arthur tells the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable from the time of Arthur’s conception to death. Near the end of his life, Arthur was away at battle, and his son, Mordred, makes himself the King of England and attacks Arthur’s army after taking Guinevere as his wife. During the battle, which is known as the Battle of Camlann, Gawain is mortally wounded, and although he warns Arthur not to continue, there is a misunderstanding. The battle continues, and Arthur kills Mordred, but he is also mortally wounded in the process. Arthur’s body is moved to Avalon, but it is not known where the Battle of Camlann was fought, so the exact location of Arthur’s death is unknown.
