Biography - King Arthur: His Life And Legends (A&E DVD Archives)
Overall, this is a great DVD. It gets a little "documentary-esque" at times, but it's full of fascinating archaeological information and research. Some of the archaeologists' accents might be a little difficult for students to understand, assuming it's used in a classroom setting like I chose to do. My students seem to really enjoy it, especially when we compare King Arthur to modern-day "superheroes" so they can see how there are certain literary and historical consistencies that we share with a foreign people who existed over a thousand years ago.

Good summary of the legend
Biography tells the origin of the variations of the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Good for those who know little about him but, as a fan of the legends, i learned nothing new from the video. But it was only 50 minutes of my life and it was worth being told again.
