By the People, For the people?

"Meanwhile, aside from the chronicles, which were written by men of the church, which were often Germanic rather then Celtic in their sympathies, the myth of Arthur grew where he properly belonged: among the common people who had been displaced in Wales and Cornwall and who were looking desperately for a messianic figure of salvation."(7)

This quote is significant to me because it shows how Arthur was truly developed by the people. There were a couple of different historical authors mentioned in the article, but mainly Arthur's legend grew among the people that Arthur himself supposedly defended and protected. To me it makes sense that Arthur's fame would grow among the people who he would later become an inspiration too.
