Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesus gone into another place: and men say that he shall come again and shall win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that it shall be so, but rather I would say: here in this world he changed his life. And many men say that there is written upon the tomb this:

HIC IACET ARTHURUS REX QUONDAM REXQUE FUTURUS.

Thomas Mallory, Le Morte d'Arthur, in The Legend of Arthur (London, Brockhampton Press, 1997), 14.
