Sir Thomas Malory's ' Le Morte d'Arthur has been around for over 500 years, and yet we've never had a definitive Arthur on camera, via tv or movie, have we?
Mallory himself was a compelling motherfucker. He wrote a bunch of Arthur in jail, or gaol. He was a thief and highwayman, possible rapist, though the charges suggest more than likely he simply banged a lot of rich and powerful men's wives. I can't remember the name of the best biography, but the section about him in the book "The Scholar Adventurers" is awesome.

Maybe because it's so repetitious and boring.
