Harry drains his tea and pours himself another one, adding another dose of rum to it. "Arthur, the once and future king. The stories are very... layered by history. Arthur was mostly likely a pre Christian tribal warlord who successfully united a large number of tribes under his rule. When Christianity came to Britain, it came to the stories and they developed more nuances and more overt religious connections. Lancelot du Lac, or Lancelot of the Lake, was reputedly Arthur's closest friend... and betrayed him by having an affair with his Queen, Guinevere, which would eventually lead to the downfall of Camelot."
He had books somewhere... Eggsy might enjoy reading them at some point, once he had finished the trial. "Obviously, we just use names rather than ascribe any traits based on them. After all, Galahad was Lancelot's son, and renowned for his purity and piety and yes, Merlin did nearly laugh himself sick when I was given that title."
