I have heard of it, but haven t seen anything.
They DO know Arthur came just after the romans and was kind of a roman? Artorius was his name actually

Actually they do not KNOW this as a fact. It is one of several possibilities.
Very Happy

off course they KNOW it, Artorius exists in Roman texts if I m right. Well what ever, most logic would be the roman story

They were found in glastonbury, not far from where I live. There's an old abby there with 'their' graves. Apparantly they found a stone with it saying something like ''here lies king arthur and his wife guinivier in the isle of avalon''
One of the reasons people think its a fake is the fact it has written where they are burried why bother saying that?

Hi Guys

I saw King Arthur the other day and it was quite clever how they portrayed Arthurs story and who he could have been at that period. I thought that the acting was a little weak with some of the English Actors, but the battle scenes were quite exciting.

I loved the take, where the first wave of Saxons attacked and the Knights were riding through their lines cutting them down.

Yours SW
