Actually, the only reason I remember the rough dates for Malory is because one of my favourite books when I was young was "The Load of Unicorn", by Cynthia Harnett. This concerned a young apprentice of Caxton who was involved in acquiring the Malory manuscript to print.
Maybe I should worry. Much of the history I learnt as history I've forgotten, but if I learnt it through a historical novel, I've remembered it.
