Whyte's major act up to now is the The Dream of Eagles series (when these are titled inside Canada, however referred to as A Camulod Chronicles in the United States & elsewhere). This series of historical novels presents the tale of King Arthur set against the backcloth of Roman Britain. This retelling of a popular legend eschews the utilize of magic (when in T. H. White’s The Sword in the Stone) to explain Arthur’s ascent to power and instead relies on the historical condition (with some artistic license) of post-Roman Britain to support the theory that Arthur was meant to counter the anarchy left by the full withdrawal of Roman governance in 410 AD and the subsequent colonization and invasion of Britain by various peoples from Northwestern Europe, including the Saxons, Jutes, Franks, and Angles).
