Synopsis

The search behind the legend of King Arthur has revealed many interesting facts and it has also led to sharp disagreements. By the 1980s, the search was more or less abandoned, having reached a dead-end. 'The Discovery of King Arthur' presents an investigation that broke the deadlock. Includes bibliographical references (p. 228-233) and index.
