At last we can know who 'king' Arthur was, when he lived and what
he did. This is the first work on the legendary hero started
without any axe to grind. Here it is demonstrated that Arthur was a
Coeling - a prince directly descended from Old King Cole - selected
as a very young age by the kings of the 'Hen Ogled' (The Old north,
which had been a magor subdivision of Roman Britannia) to be
'Pendragon' (Army Commander in Chief) of the alliance of forces
tasked to put an end to raids into their lands by Picts and Scots
once and for all. The sites of the 12 famous battles are
identified, Arthur's pedigree is specified and the circumstances of
his death examined. Such well know elements of Arthurian legend as
'Excalibur', Camelot, Karduel and the 'Isle of Avalon' are all
identified, explained and put in context. This book then goes on to
suggest where the boundary between history and legend lies,
identifying the relationship between the two and showing how the
legend developed in the first place. Finally Arthur's legacy is
assessed.
