As I understand, earlier version of the game were set in 530 AD which is the era commonly associated with knightly adventures in Arthur's court and enchanted tales of damsels in distress and magic fairies in the woods. In fact, as written, the game only allows the creation of knights from Salisbury in the year 485 AD (Arthur only draws the sword from the stone in year 509 AD), but by setting the game in this era, the knights can witness, and be an active part in, the prehistory of the Arthurian mythos (Uther conquers Cornwal, Uther beds Ygraine, Merlin takes the baby, Uther dies, etc.). This can be somewhat misleading, and disappointing, if you are expecting to play a game about King Arthur and his knights. And this version is set in the years of Uther Pendragon, father of Arthur, allowing the players and GM to play the years before Arthur draws the sword from the stone. In fact, this new version (5.1) is version 5 with corrected typos and errata added.
As you have already guessed by the name, this is version 5 of the game, first published in 1981.
