Sobre este artículo
London and New York: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2000. Cloth, xiv, 265 pages, illustrations, maps; 25 cm. Illustrated by the author. Tight, clean copy. Fine DJ. "King Arthur lives! Who was he? How much of his life is based on historical fact? Where was his Kingdom? In his quest for the real King Arthur, Rodney Castelden reconstructs the kingdoms, frontiers and political centers of sixth century Britain, and recreates the royal dynasties and chronologies of the Dark Age kings. King Arthur is often written off as medieval fantasy, the dream of those yearning for an age of strong, just rulers and a contented kingdom. Those who accept his existence at all generally discard the stories that surround him. This exciting new investigation argues not only that Arthur did exist, as a Dark Age Chieftain, but that many of the romantic tales - of Merlin, Camelot, and Excalibur - are rooted in truth. In this investigation Rodney Castelden uses up-to-date archaeological and documentary evidence to recreate the history and society of Dark Age Britain and its kings. He revives the possibility that Tintagel was an Arthurian residence, and proposes a radical new theory - that Arthur escaped alive from his final battle. A location is even suggested for perhaps the greatest mystery, the location of Arthur's grave." - Publisher. CONTENTS: Figures; Plates; Preface and acknowledgements; 1. Who this Arthur was?; 2.
