Book ....The quest for the real King Arthur

[chuck]

The Holy Kingdom...By Adrian Gilbert, Alan Wilson, and Baram Blackett.....Alas...I still chasing after Arthur Rex....Fiction or Non Fiction I can't walk away from this alluring subject.....This NF book has the Welsh angle on Arthur....Really interesting theories and some are probably a quite a stretch....I readily admit I know very little about Wales and it's Arthur legends....I do like reading about the Dark ages and the authors produce some nice colored plates of interesting sites and artifacts....Here is the Contents.....
