As the army struggle to keep control of the area, it’s time to see if you can survive this gruesome night of post-apocalyptic horror. A deadly accident has left the mythical world of Camelot destroyed…and full of zombies hungry for human flesh.A jousting tournament at Camelot, an Idylls of the King illustration by George and Louis Rhead (1898) The Lancelot-Grail cycle and the texts it influenced depict the city of Camelot as standing along a river, downstream from Astolat. It is surrounded by plains and forests, and its magnificent cathedral, St. Stephen's, originally established by Josephus, the son of Joseph of Arimathea, [12] is the religious centre for Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. There, Arthur and Guinevere are married and there are the tombs of many kings and knights. In a mighty castle stands the Round Table, created by Merlin and Uther Pendragon; it is here that Galahad conquers the Siege Perilous, and where the knights see a vision of the Holy Grail and swear to find it. Jousts are often held in a meadow outside the city.

Trafford Centre Letters to Santa at Selfridges The Vulgate cycles discuss the quintessential object in Arthurian legend, the round table, in detail. The text asserts the round table was a wedding gift from Guinevere’s father, King Leodagan. One hundred knights were already part of the round table at that stage. The remaining 50 members were chosen by Merlin, on Arthur’s behalf, to bring the number to the full contingent. The knight’s names were engraved on their chairs, bar one chair, which was referred to as the perilous chair, which would be filled by a great knight. The prestigious chair came to be filled by Sir Galahad.

In American contexts, Camelot refers to the presidency of John F. Kennedy. In a 1963 Life interview, Jacqueline, his widow, referenced a line from the Lerner and Loewe musical to describe the Kennedy era White House: "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot." She indicated that it was one of Kennedy's favorite lyrics from the musical and added, "there'll be great Presidents again [...] but there'll never be another Camelot again."

Whilst Winchester Castle was built in the late 11th century, it is interesting to note that in the 9th century, the town of Winchester was the ancient court and capital of King Alfred the Great, a great warrior famous for defeating the Danish invaders and a great statesman, law maker and wise leader. Coincidentally, these are all traits that the legendary Arthur was supposed to possess: a successful warrior leading his people against invaders and at the same time, a wise and gracious leader. In Sir Thomas Malory’s book, Morte d’Arthur, Camelot is purported to be in Hampshire, in a town called Winchester. Winchester Castle has displayed a round, wooden table for hundreds of years, with the names of King Arthur and 24 of his knights painted on it. The town of Winchester was the capital and court of King Alfred the Great in the 9 th century. The king was said to be a great warrior, wise leader, law maker and great statesman – the traits also synonymous with King Arthur.

So if Tintagel was Arthur’s birthplace, was it also Camelot? We cannot be sure. Certainly the spectacular and dramatic setting of Tintagel Castle fits in perfectly with the romance of Arthur’s Camelot. However the castle there today was actually built in the early 1100s and so cannot be Camelot.
