Genre: Non-fiction
This book is a scholarly work whose aim is to unravel the true identity of King Arthur. The author’s exhaustive research has unearthed the lineage of King Arthur and untangled the myth and legend from the historical facts. Starting with Arthur’s ancestors he uncovers the family linkages and then tracks his life with chapters on his birth, crowning, the Round Table, and significant battles that marked his reign.
I found this book to be thoroughly researched and documented. The book introduced me to people and places that I had no idea were related to King Arthur. This book is a good choice for anyone who is intrigued by the legend of King Arthur. Another great history from Pen & Sword Books, who provided me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve always been intrigued by the King Arthur legends, so this sounds interesting. Though sometimes the legends are more fun! Many years ago I visited Tintagel Castle which in legend was where Arthur was born, but I believe there’s actually no evidence for the legend at all. But it looks Arthurian anyway… 😉
