The popular figure of King Arthur and his knights in shining armor, performing acts of chivalry, is far from the truth. Arthur was the sixth-century general (real name: Artōrus Ambrosius) whose troops were mainly cavalry; disciplined like Roman soldiers. He harassed the Saxons, and his successes halted their advance for the better part of fifty years. So why has so little evidence been found? A Quest for King Arthur is the story of what really happened.
