Matter of Britain

The Matter of Britain is a name given collectively to the body of medieval literature and legendary material associated with Great Britain, and sometimes Brittany, and the legendary kings and heroes associated with it, particularly King Arthur. Together with the Matter of France, which concerned the legends of Charlemagne, and the Matter of Rome, which included material derived from or inspired by classical mythology, it was one of the three great literary cycles recalled repeatedly in medieval literature.
==History==
The three "Matters" were first described in the 12th century by the French poet Jean Bodel, whose epic ''Chanson de Saisnes'' contains the line:
The name distinguishes and relates the Matter of Britain from the mythological themes taken from classical antiquity, the "Matter of Rome", and the tales of the paladins of Charlemagne and their wars with the Moors and Saracens, which constituted the "Matter of France". While Arthur is the chief subject of the Matter of Britain, other lesser-known legendary history of Great Britain and Brittany is also included in the Matter of Britain, including the stories of Brutus of Britain, King Cole, King Lear, and Gogmagog: see Legendary kings of the British.
