The author identifies and proves that the historical King Arthur was a member of the Cunedda dynasty which founded Wales, and from whom the Kings of Scotland, and the Royal family are also descended.The author uses his numerical skills to compute an accurate timeline. The analysis of language uncovers much hidden history including King Arthurs real name (it has nothing to do with bears), and what really happened in the early British kingdoms.The author in this book presents a valid, credible, and ground breaking hypothesis which is worthy of historical research.The evidence for the true identity of King Arthur is both conclusive and overwhelming.

“Evocate . . . intriguing . . . enthralling.” Locus In a forgotten age of darkness, a magnificent king arose to light the land. They called him unfit to rule, a lowborn, callow boy, Uther’s bastard. But his coming had been foretold in the songs of the bard Taliesin. And he had learned powerful secrets at the knee of the mystical sage Merlin. He was ARTHUR—Pendragon of the Island of the Mighty—who would rise to legendary greatness in a Britain torn by violence, greed, and war; who would usher in a glorious reign of peace and prosperity; and who would fall in a desperate attempt to save the one he loved more than life.

This book reveals the raw truth behind the colourful legends about Arthur and his Round Table, his battles, his court and his death. Blake and Lloyd prove that Arthur was once a real Dark Age warlord with an extensive family and a band of fearsome warriors at his command. His life story was politicised and mythologised by the very forces who sought to suppress him. But - as Blake and Lloyd reveal - traces of the real Arthur still survive. Pendragon takes us on an adventure back to the time and ancient landscape in which Arthur actually ruled. En route, the authors explode many accepted yet flawed theories and redefine the boundaries of Dark Age Britain. They reveal Arthur's true legacy and restore a national treasure to its rightful owners. Ultimately, they return a leader to the lands that still bear his mark and solve one of the greatest mysteries of the last 600 years by laying him to rest in his true grave.

Much has been written about the Arthurian legends, but very little has been done in the way of giving background to where the legends came from. His ancestors, early Britons were the first to break away from Romes grip. This story is about the grandfather of Arthur and tells about the early formations of the kingdoms of Britain and the Celts and how they broke away from Rome. It includes the early years of Merlin as well and the formation of the sword Excalibur.

Prof. Dr. F.N. Lee first presents early evidence for the historicity of Arthur, the Celto-Brythonic 'High King' of Britain. Arthur established his presence in Ireland, Iceland, Dalriada, Pictavia, Norway and perhaps even elsewhere in Northern Europe. He also took a strong position against Rome, and refused all payment of tribute to that imperial(istic) city. Arthur defeated the Saxons in twelve major battles -- culminating in his own great heroism at Mt. Badon in A.D. 516. From this starting point in the time of Arthur, Prof. Dr. F.N. Lee takes us on a fascinating survey of sixth century Christian Britain, and the various personalities, and peoples that who dominated the times.

A matchless warrior A true friend lost A love like none before The son of a Celtic King and a Romano-British aristocrat, Uther Pendragon learns early to respect honour, nobility and integrity, but he also learns to love to fight, and to kill when necessary. His closest boyhood friend is his cousin Merlyn Britannicus, and together they will set Britain on a new path. But Camelot attracts the envy and dislike of others, among them Gulrhys Lot, King of Cornwall, and Lot's hunger for power and conquest will come to define Uther's life as his friendship with his cousin Merlyn disintegrates. While war ravages the land, Uther seems invincible, but he is powerless against the love that will undo him; a love that will seal his place in legend as he becomes father to Arthur, High King of Britain.

Looks like a tramp. Says he's a King. Meet Arthur - Warrior, leader and Druid. An ex-squaddie and biker turned spiritual leader and parliamentary candidate. The bearer of the Sword of Britain. Once voted the tenth most outrageous man in Britain by Loaded magazine, following the incident where he was naked in the Royal Courts of Justice. He is also - some would say - the legendary King Arthur, returned at last, fighting to revive the Wasteland and renew these islands. Don't believe him? Come with him on adventures and quests, through fields and forests and sacred places, to the mythical Britain behind the facade of our empty consumer culture. Regardless of whether you believe he is who he says he is, one thing is certain: he's the best Arthur we have. This new edition has been extensively revised by both authors. It includes nine new chapters and is over 20,000 words longer than the first edition. "Am I alone in thrilling to the sight of this noble throwback to the age of Celtic romance? Our Prime Minister is a grinning, charmless twerp; our Archbishop of Canterbury has as much spiritual charisma as a raw potato; and the House of Windsor is Dullsville. I'd dump the whole lot of them tomorrow and replace them with a single Royal, Spiritual and Political leader - King Arthur." --A.N. Wilson, Evening Standard 1997 ...the amazing story of one singular man. But it is also the inspiring tale of an unjustly maligned British counterculture. Searching, funny, intelligent and illuminating, it is on one level a rip-roaring read, whimsical and compelling, and on another a haunting elegy to all those people who refuse to accept that they cannot make a difference in a world they know must change.' --Deborah Orr ...the compelling and often hilarious story of how an ex-soldier, ex-builder and always-biker donned a white frock (his words) and changed his name legally and regally to Arthur Pendragon. So is this long-haired, bearded, cider-loving guy with a sword really Arthur Pendragon? ...as the book says, if Geoffrey of Monmouth, Chretien de Troyes, Malory, Spencer and Tennyson can reinvent Arthur for their own purposes, spiritual or political, then so can we; he's the King Arthur reinvented for today.' 9/10. --Fortean Times ...filled with sagas, some hilarious, others sad and poignant, which show that this man is a human being on a mission to uphold "Truth, Honour and Justice." The reader can't help but like the man who calls himself King Arthur Uther Pendragon.' --Hampshire Chronicle For those of you not familiar with Arthur Pendragon, Druid King and Stonehenge defender, you're in for a treat. Arthur's story is one that is needed in these days when the people of Britain are being led into conflicts not of their choosing and are suffering at the hands of politicians and bureaucracy. Having faced racism and the worst that British society can offer, it is no small relief to find this patriotic upholder of all the good things about being British. Long live the once and present King! Highly recommended.' --Tania Ahsan, Prediction.

Who was King Arthur? A man or a myth? Was he a living, breathing figure in medieval history, or is he merely a timeless literary character in a beloved fairy tale? King Arthur is a monumental figure as we know him—but will the search for the real King Arthur prove the legend, or will it undermine his majesty? The King Arthur Quest takes a deep look into discovering the true person behind the great legend of King Arthur—and whether the man really existed at all. Author Clayton Donoghue investigates a number of sources of the stories behind the man, and it turns out that the legendary king was real all right but that he may not be as exciting as what some people like Geoffrey Monmouth have made the king out to be. Nevertheless, the real King Arthur lived in the Dark Ages when Briton was being overrun by the Irish, the Picts and the Anglo-Saxons, and these were desperate times of survival completely void of knights in shining armour—yet from this turbulence, clerics and scribes managed to keep records that survive today, revealing Arthur’s true identity. King Arthur may not have been part of the age of chivalry—or even a king at all. Yet tracing his legacy in both history and in fiction can tell us something about who he was and why he was important, both for the people arising out of the Dark Ages and for us today.

The Long War for Britannia is unique. It recounts some two centuries of 'lost' British history, while providing decisive proof that the early records for this period are the very opposite of 'fake news'. The book shows that the discrepancies in dates claimed by many scholars are illusory. Every early source originally recorded the same events in the same year. It is only the transition to Anno Domini dating centuries afterward that distorts our perceptions. Of equal significance, the book demonstrates that King Arthur and Uther Pendragon are the very opposite of medieval fantasy. Current scholarly doubts arose from the fact that different British regions had very different memories of post-Roman British rulers. Some remembered Arthur as the 'Proud Tyrant', a monarch who plunged the island into civil war. Others recalled him as the British general who saved Britain when all seemed lost. The deeds of Uther Pendragon replicate the victories of the dread Mercian king Penda. These authentic - yet radically different - narratives distort history to this very day.
