Morte d’ Arthur 32. It sounds more like a folk tale or legend because it is unlikely that a warrior (brave knight) would swoon and weep as Sir Bedivere did for his king. Such devotion to a king, however, is legendary. 33. Buried 34. Loyalty... Piety (humbleness and religious devotion

Morte d’ Arthur 35. Religious devotion 36. It is called an “eyewitness device.” It is a common literary technique because it gives an appearance of credibility to a farfetched tale.
