I feel the first thing I should mention is that the Middle Ages as a whole span a thousand years. It makes it confusing when someone mentions one thing and assumes it was true for the entire duration of the era. This is particularly true when it comes to Arthurian myths and legends.

“Le Morte D’Arthur” by Thomas Malory (rendition by Keith Baines, 2010). Considered the de-facto literature for the Arthurian legends, this is the text everyone has either heard stories from, or they use it as the basis for their retelling. It’s also historically inaccurate and requires complete focus to understand without “updated language.”
