I think no one mentioned Marion Zimmer Bradley's The mists of Avalon.
It is a revisiting of the legends of king Arthur and the knights of the round table, seen from the women's point of view. Morgane, Arthur's sister, is a priestress of Avalon, and her magic and religion are progressively being replaced by the christian religion.
The book is very well written, the characters very well developed, and I found the revisiting of the legend, presenting the same events as we know but with different motivations, very interesting.
