First of all, thank you for the wonderfully interesting and informative thread Hieronymous Alloy!

I haven't read any of the Arthurian legends, except for some of the modern historical-fiction treatments like Jack Whyte's Dream of Eagles series. Although to be totally honest I enjoyed the earlier pre-Arthur books in the series the most because they dealt with the initial post-Roman situation in Britain as opposed to trying to cram the legends into a historical setting. Do you have any thoughts on that series and are there any other historical-fiction novels of that time period you could recommend?

So thanks to this thread I started re-reading Jack Whyte's Dream of Eagles Arthurian series, and was surprised at how homophobic it seems many years after I first read the books as a teenager. The author really has some issues with gay people :(
