So sorry to break it to you....
Ready? Most historians accept King Arthur was a REAL LIFE KING!
Perhaps, but apparently you don't read too well, because what he said was:
quote:
so that must mean that Arthur must have existed just as mort d'Arthur said
Now, some or even many historians may accept the historical reality of Artur Pendragon, a Romano-Celt, but
nobody accepts that he:
1) Wielded a magic, lake-bourn sword called "Excalibur";
2) had "knights of the round table", or of any shape of table;
3) sent out anybody on a crusade for the Holy Grail;
4) had a magic buddy named "Merlin";
or any of the rest of the obviously fantastic inventions of the Arthurian myth.
As for your ridiculous myth/legend dichotomy - how do you tell one from the other on the face of them?
