Very cool! I’ve always loved the King Arthur legends. It’s wonderful to know it isn’t all myth.

Very interesting, neat picture.
I think I am one of the only people in the world that doesn't like the King Arthur stories, or at least, three of the main characters (the king, the girl, and the best friend - good ol' lance).

Well, I love the tales, even though some of the characters acted in ways that were less than noble.

I have a very old edition...and the language is from the times...much more stimulating.
I saw Camelot on Broadway in 1962..Awesome!!
To: Twotone
Its wonderful to know it isnt all myth.I remember reading a long time ago that there's a belief that the whole "Sword from the Stone" thing was actually based on the discovery of how to create iron from iron ore.

To: MarkL
that actually makes a bit of sense. a lot of legends are just flowery ways of telling real-life acts.
as for those quotes from the 1400-1500’s literature, they are most likely wannabes trying to steal some glory. The Arthur legend dates back to pre-1000 AD I think. every castle in Britain has been claimed as Camelot over the last 1000 years.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
