      The worst thing about the word "Anglo-Saxon" trending is how it's invited all the racist white people from the UK to weigh in

      Well, AFAIK, he was. But – and here comes the twist – he was, AFAIK, not Anglo-Saxon. Not by a long shot! Like, not at all. The Anglo-Saxon invaders adapted, deformed, defaced and christianized both the historic foil, and the mythological, celtic (Old Welsh, AFAIK) figure.

      IF there is a real person on whom Geoffrey of Monmouth's "King Arthur" was based he has so little in common with the later stories - including not actually being a king - that to call them "the same person" is basically a lie

      I mean that's why it's funny, honestly, the basic situation of Arthur standing against the "invading Saxon hordes" is deeply ingrained in the story, you can't remove it But you have these 15th-century High Middle Ages English toffs imagining Arthur as one of them

      AFAIK, Richard I. "LiOnHeArT" groomed that figure myth. And heavily so. Within his day and age there even was an excavation of Arthur's remains *harrumph* forgery *harrumph* The purpose of the stunt? To legitimize Anglo-Saxon hegemony (presence, even) in the British Isles.

      Richard the Lionheart, by the way, probably never learned English fluently and spent his whole life speaking French

          Not quite French- he grew up with his Mom in Acquitaine, and spoke Occitan, a separate Romance language that’s closest to Catalan

          And now I'm laughing at Patrick Stewart playing him in Men in Tights. I guess playing Frenchmen with inexplicable English accents is just his thing

          That irony: Even the irony of that nation-building forgery done in the middle ages is so strong, that nobody even mocks that in an absurdist comedy about the time! And Rabbi Tuckman? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_England#Persecution_and_expulsion … Well. Those were not merry times. :(

          *Norman language. 😉 French language and Norman language are two different languages. But both of them are "Oïl"-languages (the same linguistical group) 🙂

          He also spent his little time as possible in England. I sincerely doubt if he had any special affection for the place.

          Richard used war in the Middle East to stabilize politics at home. It's good that nobody tries to foil today's political landscape onto medieval now just wait a sec, I'm getting a phone call...
