Camelot
Mythical British stronghold
Camelot is the legendary court of King Arthur in medieval British tales—a place of chivalry, noble quests, and the Knights of the Round Table.
The name evokes an idealized realm of justice and honor that ultimately falls.
Figuratively, Camelot describes any brief, shining period later viewed nostalgically, especially the Kennedy administration: The assassination ended America's Camelot.
