Why is King Arthur a giant? Because his story has had such strong
influences on our understanding of the history of Europe and the
English-speaking world. Because the debate about Arthur as a
historical figure has been central to understanding the fall of
Roman Britain and the formation of England for much of the last
1,300 years. Because Arthur is one of the best-known kings in world
history, whose reign was viewed as a golden age, an epoch in which
to centre tales of right and wrong, of faith and faithlessness, and
of courage and falseness, the moral and spiritual values of which
continue to resonate today not least among those who dismiss Arthur
as a late literary construct. Because an understanding of Arthur
and all the different things he has meant to scores of generations
up to the present is fundamental to our understanding of our own
past, our understanding of ourselves and the ways in which we can
benefit from history.
