The work was the first full-length book in English about the adventures of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.Although Le Morte Darthur (also known as Le Morte d'Arthur) is universally accepted as a masterpiece of imaginative literature, so much mystery surrounds the identity of the author (that is, which one of several Sir Thomas Malorys of the 15th century actually wrote it) that any one definitive biography seems imprudent.

Although few critics would argue that Malory was the most talented writer of his generation--his style is too often untidy and his work suffers from an overall roughness--he is undoubtedly a capable master of the English language.
. . .
Three more editions followed at intervals down to the time of the English Civil War: William Copland's (1557), Thomas East's (1585), and William Stansby's (1634), each of which manifested additional changes and errors.

Sir Thomas Malory - Arthurian Legend

Not only did Thomas Malory spend many years in Newgate Prison in London but as a result of service in France he may also have been held captive by Jacques d'Armagnac who owned an extensive collection of Arthurian literature.
. . .
What is clear is that the author of Le Morte d'Arthur was a member of the English gentry who mourned the passing of the age of chivalry and that the work was largely written whilst he was encarcerated.
. . .
The author's aim was not simply to tell a story but also to build a relationship with the reader; the effect was to expand our knowledge of Thomas Malory, and the Winchester Manuscript sparked off further discussion amongst Arthurian scholars about who he really was.
. . .
Malory also included personal annotations within the actual text, to educate the reader on the context of the current action or to guide attention to specific issues.
. . .
We cannot say with certainty that this Thomas Malory, whose last thoughts were so busy for his children, was our author, or that the Lancastrian knight discovered by Mr. Williams was identical with either or both, but ... the Morte Darthur offers ... such a belief ... most naturally from an author who was a Lancastrian knight." Read the full bibliographical note here.
. . .
In some of his annotations he praises the actions of various characters - reinforcing the fact that in writing Le Morte d'Arthur he is interpreting previous version of Arthurian Legend rather than creating new - and he compares the behaviour of knights and ladies within the narrative with that of his own contemporaries, for example criticizing their failure to reward faithful service.

Sir Thomas Malory - NNDB: Tracking the entire world

John Rous, in his Life of Richard Earl of Warwick, tells us that at a certain tourney held near Calais at Christmastide, Earl Richard appeared three days running in different armor, overthrowing his adversary on each occasion -- an exploit obviously imitated from the chivalric romances of the period.
. . .
The great charm of Malory's work lies in his style; stately, earnest and dignified, it has lent to the relations between Lancelot and Guenevere a character of truth and vitality in which the French original is wholly lacking.
. . .
Taking into consideration alike what Malory retains and what he omits, it seems most probable that he was in possession, not of complete copies of the romances, but of one or more volumes of compilations from these sources.
. . .
All these conditions Professor Kittredge finds fulfilled in the life of Sir Thomas Malory, knight, of Newbold Revell (or Fenny Newbold), M.P. for Warwickshire in 1445.

Most of the other records show that he was frequently in conflict with the law, spending much of his last 20 years in and out of prison.

Matthews concludes that since the author of Le Morte Darthur "was so remarkably familiar with northern dialect, northern literature, and northern affairs, ... he must have been a northerner himself ... probably a Yorkshireman [and that] Thomas Malory of Studley and Hutton is the only Yorkshireman of appropriate name and age who has been found in documents at the appropriate time."In any case, Malory related in vigorous prose the familiar stories of the Arthurian legend.

Thomas Malory - GargWiki

White's The Once and Future King (White even gave Malory a cameo at the end of the book, as Arthur's young page, sent away by the old king before the final battle with Mordred to keep the memory of Camelot alive).
. . .
Real-World History Sir Thomas Malory lived in England during the 15th century, and wrote - or at least completed - his famous book during the reign of Edward IV (1461- 1483), while in prison.
. . .
He is generally thought to have been the same as a Sir Thomas Malory from Newbold Revel, Warwickshire, who lived at the right time (he died on March 14, 1471), and who spent much time in prison (for a series of offenses that seem astonishing for the author of a work as devoted to chivalry as Le Morte d'Arthur, including rustling cattle, attempting to ambush and kill the Duke of Buckingham, and raping the wife of a certain Henry Smyth).

England's first printer was more than a printer: in his preface to The Order of Chivalry, a practical book on knight-errantry to go with Malory's Romance, Caxton complains that the knights of his day are altogether too un-Arthurian, spending far too much time at brothels, dice and "taking ease." � top of page SELECTED WORKS BY THIS AUTHOR No books are presently listed for Sir Thomas Malory in this category.

This in itself is not so remarkable since dragons or otherwise monstrous creatures frequently appear in prophetic sequences, such as dreams, and prophecy would be used to foreshadow tile prominent events of the narratives.
