Few facts are certain in Malory's history. From his own words he is known to have been a Knight and Prisoner , and his description of himself in the Colophon to ''Le Morte d'Arthur'' has led to speculation that he may have been a Priest Oldys, William: article on William Caxton, ''Biographia Britannica'', 1747-66: :I pray you all, gentlemen and gentlewomen that readeth this book of Arthur and his knights, from the beginning to the ending, pray for me while I am alive, that God send me good deliverance, and when I am dead, I pray you all pray for my soul. For this book was ended the ninth year of the reign of King Edward the Fourth, by Sir Thomas Maleore, knight, as Jesu help orders him to come home and spread the stories and ideals of Camelot to all who will listen. His cameo appearance was included in the Broadway Musical '' Camelot '', which was based on T.H. White 's book '' The Once And Future King ''. ''Le Morte D'Arthur'' was also the substantial basis for John Boorman 's 1981 movie, '' Excalibur '', which included all the elements of the book. REFERENCES
