Download or read book The Complete King Arthur written by John Matthews and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive examination of the historical and mythological evidence for every major theory about King Arthur • Explores the history of every Arthur candidate and the geographical arguments that have placed him in different locations • Examines 1,800 years of evidence for Arthur’s life and the famous series of 12 battles fought against the Saxons in the 6th century • Reconstructs the history of the 6th century in Britain, when the first references to Arthur and the core events of his reign appear Few legends have had the enduring influence of those surrounding King Arthur. Many believe the stories are based on historical truth. For others Arthur represents the archetype of the brilliant monarch reigning over a fairy-tale kingdom, offering his knights the opportunity to prove their mettle in battle and find gnostic illumination through initiation into sacred mysteries like that of the Grail. Presenting the culmination of more than 40 years’ research, John and Caitlín 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? Examining other literary figures from the 5th century such as Vortigern and Ambrosius, the authors also break down the plots of all the major Arthurian romances, including those by Chretien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Malory, and Robert de Boron, to reveal the historical events they are based on. Piecing together the many fragments that constitute the image of Arthur, both the man and the myth, the authors show how each face of Arthur has something to offer and how his modern popularity proves the enduring power of the hero-myth, truly earning Arthur the title he first received in the 15th century: The Once and Future King.

On the borders of Germania the Victory Legion under the command of Primus Pilus Lucius Arturius Castus is reassigned to hadrian's Wall in the year 280 A.D. Auturius (Uthur) will meet the blue demons of the Picts and Woads. He will meet the advisor Merlin. He will ride with Sarmatian Knights and unite a kingdom; and will carry a sword of power like none seen before, called Excalibur. And his legacy will be the first step of a vision seen by one, and will change the lives of many. In the tradition of King Arthur tales, a new vision starts with the Father, and a long trail of "Blood and Honor" in this spectacular first book of strife on the edge of the wilds.
Download or read book Legio written by Michael DuBois and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of the histories of the Roman Legions. The author begins by narrating all that is known about the legions of Caesars army. He uniquely organizes this using only the accounts in Caesars tales of his wars in Gaul, North Africa and in Appian's accounts of the Civil War. He follows the history of each legion as it is narrated, resisting the all too common impulse to fill in the narrative with the authors or historians supposition of the legions activities. The bulk of the book is concerned with the legions under Caesar and the Imperial Legions I through 22. It then continues with the legions raised from Gallienus, Diocletian, Constantine, and Theodosius. In the appendix section he tries to organize information about other legions raised during the Civil War of Caesar and Octavian, and a unique guide to Roman cities, villages, and forts mentioned in the work.

Download or read book The Mammoth Book of King Arthur written by Mike Ashley and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most complete guide ever to the real Arthurian world and the legends that surround it He defeated the Saxons so decisively at the Battle of Badon that he held the Saxon invasion of Britain at bay for at least a generation. He has inspired more stories, books and films than any other historical or legendary figure. But who was the real King Arthur? Here is the most comprehensive guide to the real Arthurian world and the legends that surround and often obscure it. Sifting fact from fancy, Mike Ashley reveals the originals not only of King Arthur but also of Merlin. Guinevere, Lancelot and the knights of the Round Table - as well as all the major Arthurian sites. He traces each of the legends as they developed and brilliantly shows how they were later used to inspire major works of art, poetry, fiction and film. There is clear evidence that. The Arthurian legends arose from the exploits of not just one man, but at least three originating in Wales, Scotland and Brittany The true historical Arthur really existed and is distantly related to the present royal family The real Arthur and the real Merlin never knew each other The real Lancelot was not British but was closer to a sixth-century asylum-seeker The Holy Grail legend probably grew out of a cosmic catastrophe that could have destroyed most of civilization
