[MR] BBC: Wales' Arthurian Connections

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Next week Bangor University's Centre for Arthurian Studies will open. 
The school is currently the only place in the world where one can earn a 
master's degree in Arthurian literature, though this doesn't seem like a 
career that is much in demand (Hey, I was a sociology grad and my degree 
got me a job driving a delivery truck!).

In any case, the BBC is offering an interesting video clip showing 
sights the Welsh claim are associated with the Arthurian legend. It is a 
striking little film, and well worth viewing, if only for the image of a 
supposed Excaliber:

The story mentions a new King Arthur film scheduled for release this 
year, KING ARTHUR, LEGEND OF THE SWORD. You can view the trailer here:

Yours Aye,


Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge
