Arthur. My favorite fictional character. Leaders of the new world should take notes. There's a reason he's known worldly without having even existed

Nice to see Castell Coch and Caerphilly Castle doing their bit.

While i greatly appreciate the search for historical facts in lore and legend, a part of me is sad...I would like the legends to be true. I would like a real life Arthur, Merlin, Morgana and Camelot with all the magic and mystery which surround them. A Celt warrior- lord, while historically accurate, simply does not have the same appeal as the mythical Lord of Camelot, who was raised by Myrddin and pulled Excalibur from a rock.

It may sound silly but I’ve always thought that, if you want to believe in a legend, that Arthur did come back in the hour of England’s greatest need. He may not have looked exactly like a knight in shining armour but one can not deny that Winston churchill was, indeed, England’s greatest weapon against Hitler. Does it do any harm to believe in legends if it helps make people feel more comfortable? As I said, it may sound silly but I’ve quite often wondered it. Thank you, very enjoyable 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

If you like Arthurian legends like I do, read Benard Cornwell’s tale of this “Once and Future King”.

With countless corrupt, greedy, unsavory kings, and politics.Heros such a mythical Arthur live in the people's hearts.It would have been sweet if he had lived.⚔️

Read the books of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett, that s where Arthur, s history is to be found . there were 2 Arthur s both decendants of eachother around 200 years apart . South east Wales is a good place to start .

King Llywelyn had an Arthurian crown of iron from the iron age. Brought to Westminster Abbey from the battlefield by Edward.

Naturally this Welsh focused program fails to mention the significance of Cornwall in the Arthurian myth. Particularly as “Culhwch and Olwen” and the Welsh Triads place Arthur’s base in Cernyw (Cornwall) at a place called Kelliwic (Celliwig) assumed to be Castle Canyke near Bodmin and the river Camel. The Cornish-language play Beunans Ke circa 1500 also refers to Kyllywyc as Arthur’s base in Cornwall. Little wonder then that Geoffrey of Monmouth (1136) placed Arthur’s birth in Cornwall at Tintagel. I’m surprised that so called academics are so selective in presenting a less than rigorous interpretation of the Arthurian myth.
