AKT is a long treatise on what it means to be supposedly low born but the only one who can pull the fabled sword from the stone -- to be the truest knight in the land. About the closest it strays to specifics from the Arthur legends though, is he was given to a Sir Ector, to be raised by him, in his youth (Arthur was given to Sir Hector by Merlin as a babe.) Come to think of it, I haven't read any Chaucer on King Arthur, so maybe there are more nods than I'm aware of.
I liked James Purefoy as the Black Prince too. Did you know he was a top contender to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond? But then Daniel Craig got the job (to everyone's surprise)... now he, apparently, wants to pass on the mantle to Robert Pattinson soon.
(Further aside, it's surprising how key actors from both AKT and King Arthur have kind of fallen off, while the supporting actors, almost to a man, have nice little careers going presently. The star that shines brightest etc I guess.)
