King Arthur Online
A lifelong learning presentation with Prof. William Thierfelder
The historical basis for the King Arthur legend has long been debated by scholars. The first datable mention of King Arthur is in a 9th century text. One school of thought sees Arthur as a genuine historical figure, a Roman-British leader who fought against the invading Anglo-Saxons in the late 5th to early 6th century. In these tales, he is presented as a gallant military commander and a noble king. Yet at the core of this epic hero lies a vulnerable lover eventually undone by his unwavering devotion to the woman he loves. Arthur’s story remains one of the indisputable foundations of Western culture. This program examines the many remarkable facets of Arthur--both the facts and the myths.
