Was the list of "eight Arthurian survivors" something that you came up with before you ever began working on "Gargoyles", or was it something specifically designed for the series? I do think that all eight members of the list work as surviving from Arthurian times to the present day even without the specifically Gargoyles-related elements such as Percival heading the Illuminati in it; i.e., the rationale for their survival fits the original legends in general.
Yes. That list definitely pre-dates Gargoyles with the exception of the Green Knight. Who only occured to me later. (That's why originally, the contest only had seven survivors. When I remembered the Green Knight, I had to add an eighth.)
But the other seven had all been worked out in my head long, long ago. There's a grave in England that many people for years believed held the bodies of Arthur and Guenivere. But I think they made a mistake. I think it contained Guenivere and Lancelot.
