La última fada by Emilia Pardo Bazán no doubt. I didn't even read it in full but I'm pretty sure that's the first place where i read about Viviane and Merlin's story and the tree and so on. Joseph Bédier's version of Tristan and Iseult too (i mean, i did get properly into Arthurian because of the Tristan and Iseult story. Wild ride). I'll never forget Iseult's faery dog there, truly an MVP.

The wedding of Sir Gawain too for sure Ragnelle changed my brain chemistry. The knight of the cart my beloved. The winter king by Bernard Cornwell was a deciding factor in taking a slightly more historical approach to my setting. Idylls of the queen by Phyllis Ann Karr changed my life for good, it was food for thought and fun to read through and through. Gradalis webcomic is to blame for me suddenly loving Agloval of all people. And finally Culhwch and Olwen for all the lovely names and inadvertently helping me fix a plot hole that was becoming enormous 🙌

Movies & series: Quest for Camelot on account of being my first (childhood) encounter with Arthuriana. BBC Legend of King Arthur because it's the goat. I really love Starz Camelot's characterization of Merlin, taking notes all the time.
