The Camelot Era

The Camelot Era refers to the period during the late 1950s and early 1960s when American television portrayed King Arthur’s legendary court as an idealized, noble society. It symbolized a sense of hope, chivalry, and moral clarity amid social changes. This era is often associated with the 1960s TV series "Camelot" and the broader cultural fascination with romanticized medieval monarchy, emphasizing the virtues of justice, honor, and community. While rooted in legend, the Camelot Era also reflected contemporary aspirations for a better, more virtuous society.
