: Re: Are the Arthurian legends freely available for use? I put a bit of Arthurian fantasy into a short story I wrote. I originally thought that this was perfectly acceptable, as many books do

The Arthurian legends are in the public domain. You can use the names, places and storylines as much as you want.
To quote this Quora source:

Sure you can. Camelot, King Arthur, the Holy Grail and the Round Table
are all in the public domain. You can use as much or as little of any
of them as you like in whatever story you want to tell. No-one is
going to bring any copyright lawsuits against you.

Typically, the reason people get sued for things like this is when there is a living member of the author's estate, as there is with Sir Conan Doyle's estate. However, in this case, there is nobody associated with the writing of the Arthurian mythology who has living relatives or active people defending the copyright, so go nuts.
