A king who lies beneath a mountain waiting to return when his land needs him most... which apparently wasn't World War 2, the Great Recession or Coronavirus - how much worse could things become?
Anyway, King Arthur. The Once and Future King, husband to Guinevere, best friend of Lancelot, student of Merlin has his origins in the 400s CE and what with his close ties to Tintagel, it felt right that we take a bit of time to dwell on King Arthur's early medieval origins. More than that though, we ask, why do we keep telling stories of this Dark Age warlord?
