Presenting the culmination of more than 40 years' research, John
and Caitlin Matthews examine the historical and mythological
evidence for every major theory about the existence of King Arthur.
Drawing on modern techniques in archaeology and scholarship, they
reconstruct the history of the 6th century in Britain, the period
when the first unambiguous references to Arthur appear. They
explore the history of every Arthur candidate, the geographical
arguments that have placed him in different locations, and the
evidence for his life and famous battles fought against the Saxons.
Was the greatest British hero of all time not a king but a
2nd-century Roman officer active around Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria?
A 5th-century soldier who operated in areas as far apart as
Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, or Brittany? Or an entirely mythical
fiction that provided a figure of light during a dark period of
British history?
