 Malory, Sir Thomas on Encyclopedia.com
The last medieval English work of the Arthurian legend, Malory's tales are supposedly based on an assortment of French prose romances.
Malory's original book was called The Book of King Arthur and His Noble Knights of the Round Table and was made up of eight romances that were more or less separate.
It is almost certain that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revell, Warwickshire.

All this espied Sir Bors and Sir Gareth.
Sir, said Sir Gawaine, I would say it were Sir Launcelot by his riding and his buffets that I see him deal, but ever meseemeth it should not be he, for that he beareth the red sleeve upon his head; for I wist him never bear token at no jousts, of lady nor gentlewoman.
Sir, said Sir Bors, she is not the first that hath lost her pain upon you, and that is the more pity: and so they talked of many more things.

As, however, on the death of Sir Thomas on the 14th of March 1470, there was no difficulty as to inheritance, his estates passing to his grandson, he must, if this identification be correct, have come under the general amnesty of 1469.
The date of Sir Thomass birth is uncertain, but he succeeded his father, Sir John, in 1433 or 1434.
This is especially noticeable in his treatment of Gawain; in the section derived from the Lancelot and Mort Artus he is a good and valiant knight, a ful noble knyghte as ever was borne1 in those derived from the Tristan and the Queste, he is treacherous, dissolute, and a murderer of good knights.

 Information and Papers on Sir Thomas Malory
Whether Malory would be aware of the alchemical imagery in his tale is uncertain, but it is worthy to note that early in his life there was a flurry of interest in alchemy in England which led to the publication of English (in English, not merely Latin texts written in England) alchemical texts.
The central issue of Malory scholarship and, therefore, of critical interpretation is whether the body of his work is a "hoole booke" or a collection of diverse tales centering in the Arthurian court.
Malory knew these French sources, but it is his vision that gives the Arthurian legend its mythic quality, as he tells of men (and women) who are doomed because they love each other too much.

 Sir Thomas Malory
Malory's most commonly accepted historical identity as a Warwickshire knight is based on the research and advocacy of George Lyman Kittredge (1860-1941), an American scholar and noted authority on the English language and literature, who published a monograph 'Who Was Sir Thomas Malory?' in 1897.
Especially interesting are 'hand-pointers' and phrases written in the margins of the manuscript by Malory or his scribes - and in some cases Caxton - which serve to clarify particular aspects of the work.
What is clear is that the author of Le Morte d'Arthur was a member of the English gentry who mourned the passing of the age of chivalry and that the work was largely written whilst he was encarcerated.

 Sir Thomas Malory - eBooks - New Releases!
Malory referred to himself as a 'knight-prisoner.' With a military man's passion for the details of conquest, a prisoner's sense of injustice, and a penitent's desire for redemption, he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to this retelling of the Arthurian legends.
Considerable evidence points to the likeliest author as one Sir Thomas Malory or Maleore of Newbold Revell in Warwickshire, who was born in the first quarter of the fifteenth century.
Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur endures and inspires because it embodies mankind's deepest yearnings: for brotherhood and community; a love worth dying for; and valor, honor, and chivalry.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sir Thomas Malory
Upon an unsound derivation of Bale's, Malory was long considered a Welshman: a belief largely sustained through the gratification of identifying the birthplace of the romancer with the scenes of the Arthurian epic.
"Malory's prose is conscious without the jarring egoism of the younger prose; it adopts new words without the risk of pedantry and harshness, and it expresses the varying importance of the passages of the story in corresponding fluctuation in the intensity of its language."
The obscurity of the author is in somewhat dramatic contrast to the unfailing clarity of appreciation which his "Morte Arthure" has aroused for the past four centuries.

 Sir Thomas Malory
These include the centuries-old Arthurian preoccupation with transgressive love, but Malory is more concerned with the conflicting claims of loyalty to clan or king, the urge to avenge the death of a fellow knight, and the resulting alienation even among the best of knights.
Whether he gained his remarkable knowledge of French and English Arthurian tradition in or out of jail, Malory infused his version of these stories with a darkening perspective very much his own.
Another colophon provides the more useful information that "the hoole book of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the Rounde Table" was completed in the ninth year of King Edward IV, that is 1469 or 1470.

 Sir Thomas Malory
Sir Thomas Malory exists for us as the author of Le Morte D’Arthur, a story of bold bawdry and open manslaughter; of gallant, valiant knights and treacherous villains; of beautiful ladies and sorcerors and the Holy Grail.
What we can be sure of is that through this one knight, "ill-made" and imprisoned, most of us have gained our knowledge of chivalry and the love between those whom King Arthur loved--his queen, Guinevere, and his friend, Lancelot.
We don’t even know for certain who this author was: scholars have offered four candidates from different counties.

It befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England and so reigned, that there was a mighty duke in Cornwall that held war against him long time; and the duke was called the Duke of Tintagel.

 Morte Darthur, Sir Thomas Malory
The Morte Darthur is a superb story of adventure and love, honor and betrayal, and one of the classics of world literature.
Malory perfected his art during the writing of the long and complex work and the earlier parts, though excellent, lack the dramatic power and pervasive tragic irony of the passion, war, and society that constitutes the last quarter of the book.
By presenting the last quarter alone, this edition focuses on the greatness of Malory's achievement and allows the reader to see it and enjoy it more fully.
