The Warlord Chronicles is a trilogy of historical fiction novels by Bernard Cornwell, set in post-Roman Britain and published between 1995 and 1997 by Penguin and Michael Joseph in the United Kingdom and by St. Martin's Press in the United States. The series blends historical fiction and Arthurian legend, portraying Arthur as a warlord rather than a traditional king. It follows his rise amid political intrigue, internal betrayal, and external threats from Saxon invaders, exploring the challenges of uniting fractured British kingdoms, the consequences of loyalty and ambition, and the realities of leadership during a period of instability. The trilogy has been adapted for television under the title The Winter King.
