Alliterative Morte Arthure
The Alliterative ''Morte Arthure'' is a 4346-line Middle English alliterative poem, retelling the latter part of the legend of King Arthur. Dating from about 1400, it is preserved in a single copy, in the early fifteenth-century Lincoln Thornton Manuscript.
==History==
The author of the poem is unknown. In his history of Scotland, Andrew of Wyntoun mentions a poet called Huchoun ("little Hugh"), who he says made a "gret Gest of Arthure, / And þe Awntyr of Gawane, / Þe Pistil als of Suet Susane" (history of Arthur, / And the Adventure of Gawain, / The Epistle also of Sweet Susan ). This "Gest of Arthure" has been claimed to be a reference to what is now known as the ''Alliterative Morte Arthure''; but the fact that the ''Morte Arthure'' seems to have been written in an East Midlands dialect, the fact that Huchoun may have been Scottish, and the dialect of the extant ''Epistle of Sweet Susan'',〔(The Pistil of Swete Susan )〕 which appears to be that of North Yorkshire, all argue against "Huchoun"'s authorship.
The only manuscript source for the ''Morte Arthure'' is the Lincoln Thornton Manuscript written sometime in the mid-15th century by Robert Thornton, who copied an older text, now lost, which presumably derived from south-west Lincolnshire.
