Studies in Legendary History
"No character, eminent in ancient history, has ever been treated with more extravagance, mendacity and injustice, than the renowned Arthur, the illustrious monarch and valiant commander of the Britons"
- (J Ritson, The Life of King Arthur, 1825)
The Quest for the Dux Bellorum
Back in the late nineteen nineties when the internet became popularly available there seemed to be an absolute myriad of Arthurian websites. Yet today, barely a few years on, the 'net' continues to expand, but websites dedicated to studies of Arthur the Warrior and the Dark Ages seem to have rapidly diminished, yet all things Arthurian remain as popular as ever.
And now the Arthurian periodical, Pendragon, journal of the Pendragon Society, has finally given up the Quest in 2009 after 50 years, Arthur addicts are without a dedicated hard copy publication.

This is my little bit for redressing the balance, and although modern scholars of the Ancient Books of Britain can differ in their translations, the interpretations of those renditions are purely mine.
