[MR] BBC: King Arthur Legend

[Alexandria Stratton]

what is the hill shaped like? perhaps 'seat' is another word for something 
else...<grin>

Noble friends, Greetings.

This morning the BBC had an interesting commentary/analysis on the endurance of 
the King Arthur legend: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13696160 . The 
commentary includes some quotes from Monty Python's Terry Jones. Some food for 
thought here about symbols of a "golden age", which in some ways relates to our 
recreation of the "good parts" of the middle ages. A really nice photo of 
Glastonbury Tor opens the article.

What isn't mentioned is that even we Scots make a claim on Arthur (however 
spurious). Otherwise, why is one of the hills in Edinburgh called "Arthur's 
Seat"?

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
