In Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany, during the medieval period, there was a firm popular belief that Arthur was not dead but would return to deliver his people from their enemies. [1]

It stars Clive Owen as the title character, Ioan Gruffudd as Lancelot, and Keira Knightley as Guinevere. [...] Arthur soon discovers Marius has also immured pagans: a Woad, Guinevere (Keira Knightley), and a small boy, Lucan. [2]

‘Here lies Arthur, king that was, king that shall be’. [1]

King Arthur is a legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th centuries, who, according to Medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. [5]

These fragments suggest to learned commentators that the beginnings of the Arthurian character lay in British (i.e. Brythonic, antecedent to the modern Welsh) resistance to Saxon encroachments after the withdrawal of Roman forces (c.449′600). [1]

The 12th-century French writer Chr?tien de Troyes, who added Lancelot and the Holy Grail to the story, began the genre of Arthurian romance that became a significant strand of medieval literature. [5]

Lancelot: [voiceover] By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. [3]

Although the themes, events and characters of the Arthurian legend varied widely from text to text, and there is no one canonical version, Geoffrey’s version of events often served as the starting point for later stories. [5]

In one of the earliest references to Arthur, namely the Historia Brittonum of Nennius, a ninth-century Welsh monk, he was described as dux bellorum, ‘leader of troops’. [1]

Actress/singer Olivia Newton-John was born on September 26, 1948, in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. [1]

Olivia Newton-John has remained silent over a new music video by her only child, Chloe Lattanzi, which glorifies graphic violence, suicidal messages and drug taking, while her publicist has actively promoted the extreme film clip. [...] She regularly broke down on set and was highly criticised for her cover of Britney Spears’ song, Toxic, and a rendition of Freak on a Leash, made famous by ’90s hard-rock band Korn. [2]

It’s a mother’s worst nightmare ‘ Olivia Newton-John’s, to be more specific. [3]

Her passion for Australia was ignited again when Olivia reunited with friend and business partner, Pat Farrar, to promote the Koala Blue brand with distinctly Australian wines to proudly bring ‘the taste of Australia’ to the rest of the world. [4]

In 1970, the group starred in a “science fiction musical” film and recorded an accompanying soundtrack album both named after the group. [5]

Lattanzi has defended the video, calling it a form of “‘artistic expression” in a press release and has since released a follow-up video, “Thank You To All The Fans And Haters,” on YouTube. [...] Song is not good at all. [3]

Her music has been successful in multiple formats including pop, country and adult contemporary and has sold an estimated over 100 million albums worldwide. [5]

She served as Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Environment Programme and in 1991, the Colette Chuda Environmental Fund/CHEC (Children’s Health Environ-mental Coalition) was founded after the tragic death of Chloe’s best friend from a rare childhood cancer, with Olivia serving as National Spokesperson for ten years. [4]

Lattanzi, who has battled mental health problems in the past, insisted her controversial and deeply confronting clip was a form of artistic expression, not a cry for attention. [2]

Her 1973 U.S. album debut, “Let Me Be There,” produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. [4]

In 1974, Newton-John represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song, “Long Live Love “. [5]

In the new music video for her single, “Play With Me,” the 25-year-old daughter of the “Grease” star, Chloe Lattanzi, slithers about in deep-set makeup and proceeds to undertake a shocking string of suicidal, self-mutilating acts. [3]

The video is for her second single, Play With Me. [2]
