Myths, legends, and literary mysteries intertwine with maps, relics, and historical facts in this exploration of King Arthur. Scholars and readers alike have long pondered the existence of a ruler named Arthur who presided over Camelot. Distinguished scholar Geoffrey Ashe presents compelling evidence that King Arthur not only existed but closely resembles the legendary figure known from tales. Drawing from a wealth of literary and historical sources, Ashe traces the Arthurian legend back to the twelfth-century chronicles of Geoffrey of Monmouth, revealing that much of Geoffrey's account, intended to depict fifth-century British events, is grounded in reality. By challenging previous assumptions about the locations of Arthur's court and other remnants, Ashe identifies the historical King Arthur, pinpointing Riothamus, a genuine fifth-century British monarch, as the likely figure. Additionally, the study delves into the histories behind other Arthurian elements, including knighthood and chivalry. Throughout, Ashe vividly recounts the sweeping grandeur of a tumultuous era in British and European history, illuminating the origins and evolution of the Arthurian legend, which continues to captivate and enchant.
