    About this ebook

    King Arthur is one of the greatest legends of all time. The story of Arthur is a complex, and has been written by numerous writers for different purposes over a dozen centuries. To some, King Arthur was a mythic figure, never having lived, created to establish a line of descent. To others, King Arthur was a composite of numerous men who’d fought against the Saxon wave of immigration and invasion. They assert that Arthur was made from portions of each man, conflated and inflated in achievements, and given a name to cap off the semi-fictional figure. And finally, some persist that Arthur, King of the Britons, was a historical personage, having lived in a dark age of record keeping, but who in fact inspired the stories, and is remembered for deeds which, if they are lost to history in detail and clarity, nonetheless existed, and happened. This incredible work contains vivid poetry about King Arthur, his life, his loves, his foes, his wars, and his legend.

      Who is This Man Called King Arthur?

      As you might be aware, the story of Arthur is a complex, character and cast composite written by numerous writers for different purposes. To some, Arthur was a mythic figure, never having lived, created to establish a line of descent. To others, Arthur was a composite of numerous men who’d fought against the Saxon wave of immigration and invasion. They assert that Arthur was made from portions of each, conflated and inflated in achievements, and given a name to cap off the semi-fictional figure. And finally to some, Arthur, King of the Britons, was a historical personage, having lived in a dark age of record keeping, but who in fact inspired the stories, and is remembered for deeds which, if they are lost to history in detail and clarity, nonetheless existed, and happened.

      "And so there grew great tracts of wilderness,

      Wherein the beast was ever more and more,

      But man was less and less, till Arthur came."

      – Alfred, Lord Tennyson

      My favorite author regarding King Arthur is Geoffrey Ashe, who, if not proving the historical Arthur, has at the very least demonstrated that there is more reason than not to believe a figure named or titled Arthur existed. Through studies of the region, the legends, the accounts of Arthur’s life, Ashe shows that there are many reasons to
