<BR>But then again, it was a work of fantasy, like all other tellings of the
<BR>Arthurian legend, so I don't think we ought to be making it represent

<BR>THANK YOU!!! While I dearly love all the retellings of the Arthurian saga, I
<BR>think this point is the most important. Without harder historical proof....
<BR>they are legends, stories, tales...... albeit good ones.
<BR>
<BR>Don't try to force them into a mold of "historical accuracy", when they're
<BR>not. Enjoy them for what they ARE, and let the rest .... just rest.
