ARTHUR’S TINTAGEL 🏰
AD.521 - AD.2021🏴
Whilst the King sleeps…
When the lines between Fact and Fiction blur, then the Myth is born…🛡⚔️🏰
But Reality can often be Grander than Fiction…🛡⚔️👑🐾
Britain AD.521 - Cornwall AD.2021 🔮
Story of Excalibur 🗡✨
📜📯Year 521 (DXXI) was a common year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar. 📆
At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Sabbatius and Valerius 🎭
🛡 The Anglo-Saxons ⚔️
These Germanic tribes are the "Anglo-Saxons" to whom we owe much of our tradition, language, and physical heritage.
They poured in upon the Romanized Celts of Britain much as the Normans would do to them in later times, pushing the inhabitants of the island back into the hills of 🏴Wales and 🏴☠️Cornwall, creating pockets of Celtic culture and language.
🇬🇧At first, the British inhabitants fell back to the heights of the old Iron Age hill forts. There is evidence that many forts were reoccupied in the late 5th century.
Gradually, however, even this struggle proved in vain, and the Germanic invaders settled throughout much of south, east, and northeast England.
The Roman warrior 🏛🏺
It is during this push for settlement that the next and greatest British hero was born, the legendary King Arthur.
Was King Arthur real?
Not in the sense of the wonderful medieval romances popularized by Thomas Malory.
There were no knights in shining armour searching for the Holy Grail in Arthur's company.
In all likelihood, there was no Round Table or Sword in the Stone. What there was instead was a very brave warrior, who may not even have been named Arthur, leading the remnants of romanised British resistance against a steady onslaught of foreign pagan invaders.👑⚔️🛡
Conflicting claims 🔮🏴🇬🇧🏴☠️
In researching this material, it was found definitively that Arthur was Welsh, Celtic, or Breton.
That he fought the Saxons in the north, in the south, or in Wales, around the year 450, or 500, or 525. That he was or wasn't a king, who was or wasn't named Arthur. That he was a figure of imagination and a real person.
The real Arthur (maybe) 👑
It seems that there was a war leader, whose name we do not know, who defeated the Saxons, checking their advance temporarily. In later years people remembered this leader with longing; "Oh, if we only had “Arthur”👑 ... to lead us now".
Eventually, the name Arthur adhered to this folk memory, and his list of accomplishments grew. Arthur is in many ways greater because we do not know the truth; it can't get in the way of peoples' need to create a saviour who is waiting to come to their aid when times get tough.
The real Arthur may have been a man named Ambrosius Aurelianus, or perhaps his war leader, who defeated the Saxons in a major battle we know as Mount Badon, (which may possibly be South Cadbury, in Somerset) halting their advance for as long as forty years.
In the end, however, the superior might and numbers of the Saxons and their allies were too much for the islanders, and Arthur's efforts became little more than a historical footnote.
A terrifically romantic and exciting footnote though, for Arthur and his deeds were woven like a silk thread into the fabric of myth and legend in which Celtic storytellers delight.
