King Arthur

The book I read to research this post was King Arthur by Graham Phillips which is a very good book which I bought from amazon. There never was a person called king arthur, the name comes from the old english word for bear. It can't be a coincidence that the king of powys in the 6th century was called the bear & in all probability is the person arthur is based on. There really a Battle of Badon & the king of powys was slain there. There really was a custom among briton kings of throwing their sword in a lake when they died so the part of excalibur being thrown in the lake is probably accurate. In olden times historians used to forsake facts in the name of entertainment so there is a lot that has been written about king arthur that almost certainly isn't true. No matter what source of king arthur tale you look at they always have the tale of king arthur leaving mordred in charge in his kingdom while he takes an army onto the continent to fight battles, & when he returns mordred turns on him, so that's probably. Excalibur in reality was probably short & light like a roman sword because we know that was fashionable in them days. The anglo saxons first came to britain by invitation & were used as mercenaries but got greedy & wanted more, they eventually conquered all of britain. The king arthur is based on created the kingdom of powys & was its 1st king so must have been a good fighter.
