Arthur and the Anglo Saxon Wars: With visitor information (Trade Editions) - Tapa blanda

In the minds of most the name 'King Arthur' conjures up images of an armour-clad king surrounded by his loyal knights. It is more likely that the real King Arthur, if he truly existed, was a Romano-British warlord in the dark days that followed the collapse or Roman rule in Britain. This book looks at the realities behind the myth of king Arthur against the backdrop of invasion as a nation was forged on the bloody anvil of war.
