Arthur

After nearly 10 years of research and study, beginning with Arthurian History at Oxford and continuing for various credited Arthurian projects at George Mason University, Betsy Scott Fitzmeyer offers her perspective of arguably the most famous defending warrior in the annals of recorded history. In his History of the British Peoples, Sir Winston Churchill said of Arthur, "Modern research has not accepted the annihilation of Arthur. Timidly but resolutely the latest and best-informed writers unite to proclaim his reality. They cannot tell when in this dark period he lived, or where he held sway and fought his battles. They are ready to believe however that there was a great British warrior, who kept the light of civilization burning against all the storms that beat, and that behind his sword there sheltered a faithful following of which the memory did not fail."
