The Warlord Chronicles – an Arthurian book trilogy by Bernard Cornwell

The Warlord Chronicles is an Arthurian fiction trilogy written by author, Bernard Cornwell. These three books are his re-creation of Arthurian Britain – a time when the native Britons were being raided by Anglo-Saxons from the east and from the Irish in the West. Also a period of internal power struggles among the many kings and problematic struggle between the newly established Christianity and the ancient Druidic religion.

The three novels in the series are:

The Winter King;

Enemy of God; and

Excalibur

These books are perhaps the most realistic novelisation of a Dark Age Arthur. They are narrated from the viewpoint of an aged Christian monk, Derfel Cadarn (or Gadarn), who reputedly fought alongside Arthur (and survived) at the Battle of Camlann.
