Is king arthur and his sword excalibur real?
During the Sixth Century AD there was a period of peace lasting roughly thirty years in which southern Brittania was kept free from invasion and the native tribes were united. This could only have been brought about by a single, strong, leader, regardless of his name. He would have been a Romanized Celtic leader, ruling from southwestern England during the sixth century A.D (the usually accepted date is around 510 – 520) after the removal of Rome’s legions. The SW position would have been important because it would have made use of Wales to defend his rear, Hadrian’s Wall manned by loyal lords to defend his left (north) flank, and the Atlantic coast to defend his right (south) flank. Mainland invaders would have normally crossed the English Channel (as William the Conqueror did centuries later) and beached on the eastern shore. Using horse calvary and relay signal fires Arthur could have raced up and down the old Roman roads at speed, swiftly engaging any invaders on or near the shore,
