'''Sir Thomas Malory''', was the author of ''“Le Morte D’Arthur”''; that compilation of tales from French and other sources about the [[King Arthur|Arthurian]] legends that has had great popularity since the second half of the 15th century and was one of the first books printed in English.
There were a number of Thomas Malorys around at the time, however the most likely candidate is a certain [[Warwickshire]] knight, a follower of [[Richard Neville]], who had represented his county in Parliament, had spent time in gaol for crimes of violence and died in 1471.
