On the one hand, the authors display an extensive and detailed knowledge of early Welsh lore; on the other hand, they seem to draw upon little else in their effort to reconstruct the history of of Fifth and Sixth Century Britain. In particular, they seem to have little understanding of the institutions of the late Roman period (which influenced those of the succeeding period) and they disregard most of what we know about contemporary events on the Continent (which sometimes directly impacted post-Roman Britain and which often provide useful models for studying the transition from Roman imperial rule to local independence). Thus, the authors do not recognize Emperor Constantine III and his son (the Caesar Constans) when they appear in legendary guise; they do not realize that the "Republic of the Silures" ("res publica Silurum" in Latin) was not a special political arrangement, but a normal reference to a Civitas (local governmental unit) in Britain; they confuse Saint Germanus of Gaul with his Manx namesake; and, they posit unlikely interactions among the various realms and personalities of post-Roman Britain.The authors¹ identification of Arthur with Arthwys ap Meurig (Artvisius? son of Mauricius), a king of Gwent and Glamorgan in Seventh Century Wales, is questionable, because of the small realm and late date of this monarch. Such an identification is inconsistent with the island-wide reputation and the enormous impact of the historical Arthur, who won the epoch-defining Battle of Badon Hill around A.D. 493. It is not implausible, however, that incidents from the life of the similar-named king did influence the growth of the Arthurian legend.The book (or at least most of it) is nonetheless well worth reading. It delves very deeply into Welsh lore that is often ignored or disregarded, and it provides a number of interesting insights into the development of early Wales. I recommend buying the book, but skipping or skimming over pages 13 through 54 (where the authors¹ shortcomings are most manifest). The remaining 300 or so pages of the book provide a fascinating look into the dim world of long-age Britain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Historical Arthur *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2009* This is one of quite a number of books who have identified the real, historical Arthur II. Despite the "experts" who have made a career in the last 3 centuries, or more,who have conspired to bury Arthur's identity, the word is out, Arthur lives.I have been studying my family history in South Wales for over 23 years and have seen how the latter day "experts" have systematically conspired to erase much of the true British and, with it, world history. Once again, they have been caught in their childish and churlish games. This work has an excellent bibliography and highly useful appendices in addition to the story within. This is a must for anyone studying the history and/or genealogy in S. Wales. It points out the plethora of "mistakes" made by the "experts" over the years quite well. It provides a synopsis of the Ancient Histories and how useful they are in the study of S. Wales, while pointing out how they have been misused and misinterpreted, as they surely have. If you read between the lines, you will see how the "parties" to the obfuscation conspiracy worked their theories into becoming "reality" and how it has been accepted by the unwashed. You should seek out this book and give it 3 readings. I purchased it online, used, through Amazon and was more than pleased. I do not know who "used" it but they must have had a quite light touch. It was new, not just "like new" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arthur's Legend placed in Wales, not Cornwall. . . *by K***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2013* This is one of the "best" books I've read that tries to place the Arthurian legend into current day geography. It places most of the presumed battle sites in Wales, not Cornwall. A totally different way to look at these battles and their locales. My wife and I have travelled many of the Welch sites discussed in this book and the authors have done their homework (site work). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a different option for the telling and retelling of the stories of Arthur. Buy and enjoy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1701397-journey-to-avalon-the-final-discovery-of-king-arthur-paperback](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1701397-journey-to-avalon-the-final-discovery-of-king-arthur-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
