Sometime around gOO CE, King ArtKur
saved. Britain from the Saxons and
reigned gloriously — according to legend.
But is this in any sense true? Was there ever
a real’ King Arthur?
There have been many competing answers to
tlx is question. While most scholars today declare
themselves agnostic, Nicholas J. JdigHanx sets
out to solve tHe puzzle, drawing on Inis own
research and a lifetime’s immersion in tlxe
subject to estaHlisH whether or not King Arthur
was historical, and when, and more importantly
why, tlxe legend began.
In tlx is compelling account, Higham explores *
tlxe claimed Arthurian connections Wit lx
pre-classical Greece, Roman Dalmatia, the J
Eurasian Steppe and the Caucasus, as well
as different identifications of Arthur within
Britain. He then plots tlxe legend’s ¿mergence,
tracking Arthur from His beginnings in Wales
to His rise tf fame more widely after IIOO.
* •• • . . _ . • . .. . . .
Crncially,^Higham skows How early ninth-
century Welsh elerics in a land under threat
from the English rewrote the past in ways
designed to Holster local morale in the present,
portraying Arthur as a Ghiistian BritisH
warrior wko won nxultiple victories over the
pagan Saxons^ This Heroic figure was taken
xxp in Wales grid teyond,^becoming pivotal to
works writtert in both prOse and poetry oyer six
centuries arid more, i -
Certain to airdnsc heated debate amongst those
committed to defending any
Hichams Hook is essential tnu
, i-
the origins of this legendary figur
