@Archatgs
@morangles > v much a minor part of 'Arthurian legend' until 12thC... Or something like that! ;) -
@caitlinrgreen@morangles so you do not think there was a person called: King Arthur at all. -
@Archatgs
@morangles There are a few real ppl bearing name in 6thC, prob named from folkloric hero IMO--but no, original=non-historical. -
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs not 1st time real people inspire myths/legends reality has always more imagination than fiction

@caitlinrgreen@morangles Morangles fav your tweet, so she agrees you too. -
@Archatgs
@caitlinrgreen nope but possibly an exile Romano Britton ending up in Brittany Saxons sailed to Angers if I remember in early 500s -
@morangles@caitlinrgreen So you Morangles think King Arthur was a real person, in some degree. :) -
@Archatgs
@caitlinrgreen so far from saying that Arthur or Heaven forbid Merlin but that real lives inspired the fictional Arthur we know -
@morangles @Archatgs Def worthwhile eg pseudo-historical Arthur picks up deeds of Ambrosius, Urien Rheged, Olaf of Norway, & Erik the Red! -
@caitlinrgreen@morangles @Archatgs just checked the history of Leeds sub roman kingdoms like the "homeland in Jutland very integral! -
@HyettNeal Yes, Elmet! :) And one that survived into the 7thC :)
