"Looking for
the real Arthur" fractural books have also been published with a vengeance over
the past few years, my remainder book shop have titles regularly . Over the last
year these factual books have shown Arthur living in Wales, Anglesey, Scotland,
Cornwall, North and South England and my last read ,he was a War Lord from
Russia.. Who knows, will we ever have concrete evidence of his existence, does
it really matter. Do we want the facts ,if he existed, was he not one but three
great war chiefs or perhaps a post Roman Warlord, or ,or, we all can wonder.
What he was not is knight dressed 14th armour
portrayed in the movies and paintings.
Sadly
in the UK there is so much local pride to placing him in certain parts of the
country, this can be put down to either nationalistic one-upmanship and tourism,
surely the Arthur legend is bigger than these petty squabbling over origin ownership.
Its great fun when travelling round the the UK
visiting the various site linked to the name of King Arthur. I'll slowly
add photos as I visit.
