King Arthur: Was he real? Was he even a king? Someone reached my blog the other day by typing in “King Arthur wasn’t Welsh”. What? Clearly that person needed to be pointed in the proper direction and I’m glad my blog was here to do it.
I have written extensively about King Arthur in many places on this blog, and with that poor lost soul in mind, I realized that it might be of some benefit to put these posts all in the same place. To find out about the origins of King Arthur, see:
The Fictive and Historical King Arthur
Historical Sources for King Arthur
The British (Welsh/Cymry) High Council
For information on the places associated with King Arthur:
King Arthur’s Round Table–or why it wasn’t just found in Chester
Mount Badon/Caer Faddon (part 2)
The Roman Fort of Caerleon (and Arthur’s Camelot?)
