OverviewWhy is King Arthur considered a myth when every Welshman knows he was a very real sixth-century sovereign? What is the organizing force behind all war? What should be done with a standing army when gone are the wars and peacetime reigns? What is the role of Government in the lives of individuals? Did Arthur really father a child with his sister? Did Merlin really become a Christian in his later years? What is the Grail? What is the importance of Giants, Faeries and Otherworldly Beings in Arthurian lore? Where was Arthur from? Did Gwenhywfar really betray the king? Why is there so little evidence remaining today of sixth-century life in Britain? Did Arthur really die at Camlan? Author Zane Newitt considers all of these questions - and many more - in his dark, brooding and Bardic Saga, The Arthuriad, retold in the style and method of the ancient bards. Politics, love affairs, honour, disgrace, dark magic, curses, wizards and kings, heartbreak and true love... Exploring every facet of the fascinating time 'betwixt and between' Antiquity and the Dark Ages, the saga of the Once and Future King and, more importantly, the king's sister, is a thrilling and intriguing tale that will leave you wanting more.
