__//**Other Background Information**//__- Camelot is the most famous castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Absent in the early Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French romances and eventually came to be described as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm and a symbol of the fabulous. Since camelot is a legendary place,it is perhaps its difficult to speak of its location. Here's a quote from King Arthur himself " In short, there's simply not / a more congenial spot / for happily ever aftering than here in Camelot." Also "Don't let it be forgot / That once there was a spot / For one brief shining moment / That was known as Camelot!" Which means that camelot was a great place that shouldn't be forgotten because it would change someones life as they know it to be.
