Was King Arthur an Ancient Roman?

Who hasn’t heard of the legendary King Arthur, the Celtic leader of Britain? Under his rule, he unified the country and successfully resisted the Saxon invasion. In legends, Arthur is named the son of the Brittonic king Uther Pendragon, raised far from his father under the supervision of the wizard Merlin. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*zc5ABfKEQKHrGx0VJrJz6g.png" style="height:468px; width:700px" /> A still from the movie “King Arthur,” 2004. The first historical chronicle mentioning King Arthur is the “History of the Britons.” It is believed that the work was completed in 800 AD by a Welshman named Nennius. This work, written in Latin, suggests that Nennius might have relied on Welsh folk traditions for the “Twelve Battles of Arthur.” A sequential account of King Arthur’s life only appears in the “History of the Kings of Britain” by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 11th century. He combines Nennius’s work and elements of Welsh folklore, serving as the framework for the cultural myth of King Arthur. <a href="https://medium.com/@ancient.rome/was-king-arthur-an-ancient-roman-f594827cae5f">Visit Now</a>
