Jack Whyte (1940-2021) was a Scottish-Canadian author best known for historical fiction that brought ancient and medieval worlds to life. Born in Scotland, he moved to Canada in the 1960s and spent most of his career there.
His major work is the Camulod Chronicles (also published as A Dream of Eagles), a 9-book series that reimagines the Arthurian legend in post-Roman Britain. Rather than treating Arthur as a mythical king, Whyte grounded the story in realistic history, tracing the founding of Camelot across several generations of Romano-British families.
Whyte also wrote the Templar Trilogy, which follows the Knights Templar from the First Crusade through their downfall, and the Guardians trilogy, set during Scotland’s Wars of Independence. His memoir, Forty Years in Canada, recounts his experiences after emigrating from Scotland.
