If anyone is interested, there's a fabulous "historical" retelling of the Arthur myth in Rosemary Sutcliffe's "Sword at Sunset". One of my favourite books of all time.
Lol it’s the story of the sun traveling through the zodiac. It’s astro-theology. That’s why it’s timeless and gives rise to so many theories I assume.. like the New Testament of the Bible… the moment people try to link it to history they miss out on something so much more beautiful and profound.
@@BEDLAMITE-5280ft. King Arthur has nothing to do with zodiac or bible. His royal lineage is traceable. Saint Dubricious crowned him. And he was a 6th century welsh King. His father Meurig ap Tewdrig. Tewdrig his grandfather.
@@MonikaEscobar1965 interesting. That’s awesome. But how important in that information? When I read King Arthur is that something that has any impact on the story? How useful is focusing on that kind of data is it?
There is no history of a court of Glamorgan that fits Arthurian legend. A one-line comment, is not a history. Besides, it is said that the court had the most beautiful women, So this could not be a Welsh story. R
With all the time they had on their hands back then it's no surprise they came up with such wonderful stories. Stories have developed and destroyed societies many times in history.
One of the things that fascinates me is thinking about how long the stories had been told orally through the generations, maybe updated over the years. Some the these stories like Arthur could date back longer than we could imagine and have been updated by storytellers over the centuries before finally being written down. I don’t actually know that that’s even possible lol but it’s one of the fun questions I have and one reason I love history so much!
Lol what time? They didn't have grocery stores Amazon or Uber. They had to work for every meal build their shelters defend their earnings and feed their families and animals apart from defending themselves and others in fairly frequent travel. Even the scribes were incredibly busy following the war and it's heros through weather we only hope to never experience on horseback or foot. They had little spare time but because most were illiterate, stories were told and exaggerated . But at least the story isn't boring lol
Canadian author Jack Whyte wrote an amazing series of books about author Pendragon forward to Arthur, Merlin and the battles against the Saxons. Extremely great reading.
The Arthur of Avallon bore the title Riothamus; his name was Ambrosius Aurelianus. He was a friend and probably a distant relative of the 5th century Bishop and Senator Sidonius Apollinaris, through Aurelia Aureliana of Carlisle who married Ulpius Apollinaris in the early 200s. Sidonius was married to a daughter of the Emperor Avitus. Riothamus was renowned for his humility, courage, honour and loyalty to his men; he was an ally of Emperor Anthemius.
There’s nothing mythical about King Arthur, he’s mentioned in the Llyfr Teilo, the book of Llandaf giving lands to the church and Bishop Gomeric , he was the King of Glamorgan and Gwent, he was born Arthwyr , a monk down in west Wales wrote it down Arthur , the cave at Llwynarth where Saint Illtud his cousin placed his body is in Glamorgan, before taking the body up to the church, but of course all this evidence is ignored
If Arthur was to come back when Britain needed him most, one wonders why he didn't rise up during the Blitz and World War 2. I guess this proves most of King Arthur is indeed a mythical hero.
In fact he has come back. Arthur was a prince of Wales who became king and his paramour was the Saxon lady Camille. Camille is of course the French form of Camilla. Arthur became king of Logres, Wales.and Scotland. Our Prince of Wales has now become king of England Wales and Scotland. One of his given names is Arthur. His paramour was Camilla (of English extraction) when he was married to Diana and is now his wife.
His own proliferated will-force , along with his mesmerizing harbinger to proliferation will-force in between his soldiers, made his aficionados to acquire the acme and deserve belligerence in any battlefield for securing the victory to be The PEOPLE'S LOVE ❤️ AND LORD OF THE RING ❤
There is no King Arthur and his court prior to the 12th century, with Geoffrey of Monmouth and Walter of Oxford. That was just 40 years after the First Crusade, and 5 years after the Knights Templar. This story came back from the east, with the Templars. Note that two of the early manuscripts say the story was written by Josephus Flavius - in the 1st century. Note also that the First Crusade went to Edessa first, not to Jerusalem. No doubt they found some interesting manuscripts in Edessa, about the 1st century king of Edessa who led a Revolt against Rome. This is what this story is really about. The Templars rewrote and preserved this history, because it was closely linked to Gospel events in Judaea. Many of the characters are biblical. That is why Sir Perceval was the nephew of Nicodemus, and owned the donkey that belonged to Joseph of Arimathaea. See the GraiI Cypher. Ralph
You say that Arthur was said to have been conceived and born at Tintagel but this is untrue. He was only said by Geoffrey to have been conceived at Tintagel and there is no evidence at all as to where he was born.
There’s actually some pretty good evidence that he lived there, or had some connection there. Born? Who knows. Before Real records were kept, there’s no way of knowing where anybody was BORN, much less conceived, even somebody highborn. It didn’t matter, you know? You were born. How may people know where conception was even now? He’s talking the legend.
Another version King Arthur's venture in Europe was he was part of the Roman Army with a real tour sign up for a while, I guess prior to him settling in England again.
Okay I tried to be quiet but there were two King Arthur the grandfather and the grandson the grandfather fought against the Romans the grandsons fought against the sexson they were from the House of Lee his brother Mordred was King all Welsh history so how you ain't know it was 2 King Arthur.. is crazy and I'm from America???
Ambrosivs aurelianus fought against the Romans.. was the son of Constantine 2.. had a brother name Uther Pendragon .. around 415-450.. the great grandson was name athrwys ap meuring king of gwent and glywysing in Wales son of meuring aptewdrg a direct descendant of aurelianus...🤷🤷.. it always been there people just don't read...?
Disappointing that the actors and scenes portrayed here appear to be from the High Middle Ages although King Arthur, if he ever existed at all, was lived in the 5th or 6th century, and these castles and fashions did not exist in Britain at that time.
Neither did tournaments.. the Arthur story was remixed multiple times, all in anachronistic ways. The most popular was putting it in the chivalric court setting after the Norman conquest. They explain that they’re showing that propagated version of Arthur.
a myths is something literally in every aspect true!!! thats the true literal meaning of the word. so yes king arthur is a myth because he literally exsisted, exactly as the legends telll!
Stephan VON Blois?!!! Who the hell translated this?!!! Either sy it in English "Stephan OF Blois" or you say it in the original language, French "Stephan DE Blois". Why the hell do you use the german translation?!
King Arthur, as we know him, is indeed the creation of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who based him on Alan Rufus, a Breton whose deeds outshine the legend. Alan was the most senior witness to the foundation of Monmouth Priory. The other early Arthurian writers, Geffrei Gaimar and Wace of Jersey, extolled Alan’s prowess in the Battle of Hastings, where he devastated the English at the very moment they were about to win. Alan’s epitaph identifies him with the star Arcturus, as he was the guardian of two ‘bears’, William Major and William Minor. He was the architect and master builder of the beautiful St Mary’s Abbey York, which records Alan’s brother Count Stephen of Tréguier as the one who opened England’s first Parliament in 1089 at York. This was during Alan’s time as Lord of Richmond and Earl of East Anglia. Count Stephen’s wife Hawise, Lady of Guingamp, is thought by some to be King Stephen’s aunt. Two of Count Stephen’s sons fought in the Anarchy: Geoffrey for Empress Matilda, Alan for King Stephen. Alan’s and Stephen’s father was Eudon Penteur, regent of Brittany: Eudon appears in the Song of Roland as ‘Eudon, Lord of Brittany’. Alan’s mother was Orguen, sister of Hoël, Count of Cornouaille. His uncle Duke Alan III was poisoned while besieging a rebel, the same fate as Geoffrey of Monmouth attributed to Ambrosius Aurelianus, in tradition an ancestor of their family, as was Riothamus (which may be AA’s title). Alan is the internal narrator of the Bayeux Tapestry, designed by Scolland, a Breton master illuminator. Paradoxically, Alan’s beloved was Gunhild of Wessex, daughter of King Harold Godwinson. Yet that can be explained by Alan’s acquaintance with Harold prior to 1066, including a stay in England serving under Eudon’s younger cousin King Edward. Of all the magnates, Alan gathered by far the greatest number of English lords under his wing, while excluding Normans from his lands in Yorkshire. The Domesday Book was likely a project by Alan Rufus, as it has a strong resonance with his lands, all the principal figures were in his circle, and he had the talents, standing and motivation to plan it. In 1088, the greatest Norman barons rebelled against William II. Alan was the strongest of the loyalists, and they allied with the English people to win the war. In late January 1091 Alan stood with William II at Dover. A few days later, an army of Englishmen sailed to Normandy and conquered it, to the applause of the Norman population, causing the French king such great trepidation that he persuaded Pope Urban II to negotiate peace for land: Upper Normandy was granted to the Crown of England. Another of Alan’s brothers, Brian of Brittany, was appointed Earl of Cornwall, but left England to aid the Hautevilles in Italy and Thessaly, where his experience was pivotal in the victory over the Romans at Dyrrhachium. After the defeat at Larissa, Brian held Kastoria until his officers urged surrender. Brian then returned to Brittany briefly to meet Alan Rufus and their eldest brother Geoffrey Boterel, but travelled back to Italy to serve as Constable of Apulia. Anna Komnena’s “Alexiad” describes Brian as “the most courageous and most honourable of the Gauls”. The DNA of Eudon’s male-line descendants has been analysed in detail: it originates in Republican-era Rome. The Breton emblem, ermine, became synonymous with honour and sovereignty across Europe, largely because of Alan’s chivalric example and magnificent legacy.
Following the grandiosity of Rome and it’s departure; It’s almost as if Welsh bards set up Britain to desire the Monarchy/ Figure head ideal. Which is still in play. 🧐
Film gives people the title Literary Scholar. That means he/she has Read Books. That's it. Not a lot to be respected there. And their environment seems to be a minimum security facility.
Looking over all the lack of evidence. What I have figured out, was the story was first written about a king named Lancelot. See how the name "Camelot" (half way over the hill?) is to close to "Lancelot"? Supposedly "King Arthur" found Lancelot few years after building Camelot.. . Pulled an enchanted sword from the destiny stone. Britain claims they have that stone.. . It's all fake. Story after story. . Plus, King Arthur has a completely different name then his entire family??
The History of the kings of Britain’ written in 1135 by Geoffrey of Monmouth proclaimed an Arthur who fought the Romans and an Arthur who fought and defeated the Saxons. The immediate problem is that you have a 250 year old king. This was pointed out by Polydore Vergil the historian for Henry VIII of the six wives and he said look this is impossible you’ve got a 250 year old king here he can’t fight the Romans and the Saxons. In the usual negative stance which is taken towards Welsh history and towards most ancient British history this is immediately used to say that the history is false. But the most obvious answer is that there are two King Arthurs the man who fought the Romans did so in 383-388 AD and the man who fought the Saxons in the 6th century is a sixth generation direct descendant in the male line and he is Arthur II. Oh and btw, dragons existed you know them as dinosaurs and they are not 50 millions years old as the incorrect carbon dating suggests.
Tired of propaganda films. Hes supposed to fight the romans and the saxons. Roughly 250 year gap. Means there are 2, not 1. Definitely not middle ages. Wish these so called experts did some more research. Oh, by the way, look up the bruts of england and welsh history
i think its always miss spelled i cant say the name without hearing king "author" its authority title in double king of authority and evidently a metal alchemist it takes fire and stone to draw the metals before you could have the sword thats the original pulling out of stone before that is the idea of a sword and likely drawing it ..himself being the stone ..then later locking it back in stone and so many only come to pull the hilt without a mind of how else to acheive it might help to know the sword had a opening and a cross bar and set in stone when concrete was wet an easy monet maker for failing witts to pay up lost bets ..you should tell em im bringan a hammer and a chisel fire and water and it the only way ill aproach the bet craking the tablet of stone to pull it out ...young minds dont think of this and they make extra rules that wasnt said yet symbolance takes battle into relationship as the man is the sword and the stone is the sheith the sheith is the wombans only weapon and the sword is the mans only weapon her battel is to lock and cover the sword her solidity is loyalty and atractiveness that keeps the sword in its place finding its clues are in finding its other charactors....luther sugest lutherian beleifer or monk pendragon suggest writership as biblican term of king jaimes basicly only says writertude born out of writership so likely everyword is analitical to its representatonal meaning instead of dorect peoples ie allegorical figur symbol of what the name represents if that nature was a person ...but luther rather ulther or uther another way to say other writer or writing ...another tacktic of batttel is always rumour and intimadation and deception to be looking for a non exhistant face a wild goose chase but alterior methods of distraction misleadance of an enemy to have them hunting else where hunting a ghost leaves the real people off to the side under cover but ok tdc or odc they can f.o ...parental initials only spelt mer'rel plus min nsl = merrelns'l coicidentaly interesten funny too backward = rel'mer....

Gosh there is so much rubbish here. These people on this video let their imagination go and then believe it themselves. Geoffrey did indeed take the original Arthur mentioned in the Y Gododdin poem, but he then goes off to create a then 'modern day' story. The real Arthur was mentioned just after 500AD. He was a strong commander and brother of a Roman. He was indeed born in Wales at Tintagel castle which is now below the 'present' medieval castle ruins.
This is appallingly BAD! Almost nothing relevant about King Arthur and his existence, or not, his battles, or none, his life if he had lived, archaeology for or against, oral tradition - anything relevant!. It is all about what people thought 500 years later! Terrible
After Christianism destroyed almost all historical knwledge in Britain and even the esatblished christianist feudal aristocracy had no identity but the most brutal expansion of christianism the was a somewhat quite episode without slauthering every day. In thhose days the aritocracy felt empty. In order to fill the mental emptyness some people invented stories about some strange and unreal former king. They gave the name "Arthur" to the figure. Well, inventing stories had been a christianist thing for centuries.
@chriscuomo9334 Obviously you are just annoying or too stupid to understand what clarify means. So for the last time in this matter for you explained: clarify what you means that never happened.

@@OrangeMapleLeaf Point? More than one. 1: Christianism is destructive. It destroys everything that could be a danger to christianist ideology. 2: Christianism makes people empty. In order to get at least a littel bit for the souls people have to go to churches where they are told ideological stories and never the truth. 3: The entire ideology is based on lies. ...

With all the time they had on their hands back then it's no surprise they came up with such wonderful stories. Stories have developed and destroyed societies many times in history.

The Proto-Celtic word artos, is related to the Greek word ἄρκτος (arktos) ‘bear’;

i think its always miss spelled i cant say the name without hearing king "author" its authority title in double king of authority and evidently a metal alchemist it takes fire and stone to draw the metals before you could have the sword thats the original pulling out of stone before that is the idea of a sword and likely drawing it ..himself being the stone ..then later locking it back in stone and so many only come to pull the hilt without a mind of how else to acheive it might help to know the sword had a opening and a cross bar and set in stone when concrete was wet an easy monet maker for failing witts to pay up lost bets ..you should tell em im bringan a hammer and a chisel fire and water and it the only way ill aproach the bet craking the tablet of stone to pull it out ...young minds dont think of this and they make extra rules that wasnt said yet symbolance takes battle into relationship as the man is the sword and the stone is the sheith the sheith is the wombans only weapon and the sword is the mans only weapon her battel is to lock and cover the sword her solidity is loyalty and atractiveness that keeps the sword in its place finding its clues are in finding its other charactors....luther sugest lutherian beleifer or monk pendragon suggest writership as biblican term of king jaimes basicly only says writertude born out of writership so likely everyword is analitical to its representatonal meaning instead of dorect peoples ie allegorical figur symbol of what the name represents if that nature was a person ...but luther rather ulther or uther another way to say other writer or writing ...another tacktic of batttel is always rumour and intimadation and deception to be looking for a non exhistant face a wild goose chase but alterior methods of distraction misleadance of an enemy to have them hunting else where hunting a ghost leaves the real people off to the side under cover but ok tdc or odc they can f.o ...parental initials only spelt mer'rel plus min nsl = merrelns'l coicidentaly interesten funny too backward = rel'mer.... WAS SOMEONE PSYCKIC too but only tiny hints to shrug ..as for guine'vere in nature probly coser to saying go winni vere ie go win trueth as guines for high and vere as verealy trooh also guine vire high closeness...as far as round table its not about whos closest its round world round table round clock king at the north almost hints at a nordic santos position aka nordic meaning northic northern person or people so regeons probly more than the smaller state regions represented...anyways relations with trooht might have been less about violations as many assume to a situation similar especialy in alegoric figuratives but like relations with wisdom it only becomes wrong if your intention is to abuse that knowlege and most of what ive read showed king as content not distraught just a different type of role than comonly expected but thats what makes alegory tuff tells it represents differently than comon emotional expectations to regular relations some also have a poser for public veiw and real lover is a secretly protected by that secrecey...but idk

Artur was persian!
Gosh there is so much rubbish here. These people on this video let their imagination go and then believe it themselves. Geoffrey did indeed take the original Arthur mentioned in the Y Gododdin poem, but he then goes off to create a then 'modern day' story. The real Arthur was mentioned just after 500AD. He was a strong commander and brother of a Roman. He was indeed born in Wales at Tintagel castle which is now below the 'present' medieval castle ruins.

Read that there was never any such person.
King of the who?
What a lot of crap this is...Arthur existed long before the Normans, in the 500's. and he is mentioned in a poem of the time.
This is appallingly BAD! Almost nothing relevant about King Arthur and his existence, or not, his battles, or none, his life if he had lived, archaeology for or against, oral tradition - anything relevant!. It is all about what people thought 500 years later!
Terrible
Save the "acting" scenes and stick to archaeology.....this is cringy as hell......!
If u want archaeology only, u might as well switch books🤷🏻♀️
After Christianism destroyed almost all historical knwledge in Britain and even the esatblished christianist feudal aristocracy had no identity but the most brutal expansion of christianism the was a somewhat quite episode without slauthering every day. In thhose days the aritocracy felt empty. In order to fill the mental emptyness some people invented stories about some strange and unreal former king. They gave the name "Arthur" to the figure. Well, inventing stories had been a christianist thing for centuries.
@chriscuomo9334 Clarify.
@chriscuomo9334 Clarify.
@chriscuomo9334 Obviously you are just annoying or too stupid to understand what clarify means. So for the last time in this matter for you explained: clarify what you means that never happened. Is it what I commented on or is it the ocntent of my comment? Here we have it again. A wannabe important reponse to a comment and cannot get it straight. So there are 2 ways: (1) you answer appropriately. (2) I will see what I can do about your bad behavior.
Inventing stories is what all religions have in common. Point?
@@OrangeMapleLeaf Point? More than one. 1: Christianism is destructive. It destroys everything that could be a danger to christianist ideology. 2: Christianism makes people empty. In order to get at least a littel bit for the souls people have to go to churches where they are told ideological stories and never the truth. 3: The entire ideology is based on lies. ...
