The Rise of King Arthur

[@objectofhate4593]

From what I remember from a children's book on King Arthur, the scabbard was even more important in combat than Excalibur as it protected you from bleeding from cuts sustained in combat. Morgan the Fee threw the scabbard into a lake when she was about to be caught up with on horseback after she stole Excalibur.

John Morris' "The Age of Arthur: History of the British Isles from 350 - 650". Is an exceptional book of scholarship regarding this era.

The trilogy of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell is an interesting historical fiction that is definitely the pagan interpretation with the grail being a cauldron.

I tried reading his book on Agincourt, it was so bad that I literally threw the book in the trash.

Please remember that Celtic Christianity is different to Roman or Orthodox and rejected less of the older pre Christian culture.

Why is that an important distinction for you?

@@thetyrantofsyracuse "important " a strange way to parse the question? But it more clearly explains the merging of the two belief systems in the earlier stories. As the Roman church replaced the Celtic church more distance was created from the Pre-Christian parts of the legends.
