My favorite Knight of the Round Table. I know I am terribly young to be reading King Arthur, but that's me.
Never too young for those stories, I would say.
Have you read the Idylls of the King by Tennyson? I get bogged down easily if reading for hours, but there are many excellent lines and passages.
For example, this is from the end of the chapter "The Coming of Arthur." I love these lines, especially "The slowly-fading mistress of the world."
There at the banquet those great Lords from Rome,
The slowly-fading mistress of the world,
Strode in, and claimed their tribute as of yore.
But Arthur spake, 'Behold, for these have sworn
To wage my wars, and worship me their King;
The old order changeth, yielding place to new;
And we that fight for our fair father Christ,
Seeing that ye be grown too weak and old
To drive the heathen from your Roman wall,
No tribute will we pay:' so those great lords
Drew back in wrath, and Arthur strove with Rome.
And Arthur and his knighthood for a space
Were all one will, and through that strength the King
Drew in the petty princedoms under him,
Fought, and in twelve great battles overcame
The heathen hordes, and made a realm and reigned.
