About King Arthur of England and Charlemagne of France ~

King Arthur's real name is not Atholia. This is based on "ァルトリァ" written by Naisu きのこ), but it is another name-Artorius (sound "Tolis"). On the other hand, perhaps based on Artorius, Naisu created the name Artorius by referring to female names such as Maria and Victoria. Some scholars believe that "Artorius" is the name of a Roman clan, representing the Roman descent of King Arthur. Another way of saying that "Artorius" comes from the Celtic words "artos" and "viros" (bear, man) of the ancient English aborigines, meaning "bearded man".

Tolis is the illegitimate child of his father Uther Pendragon. Before that, the child in Uther Pendragon's main house was a girl. As mentioned in Destiny, this girl is King Arthur's half-sister Morgan (sound "Morgan") and the biological mother of knight Mordred (sound "Mordred"). These will be detailed later.

On the whole, as the only male heir in the family, Tolis is unfortunately an illegitimate child. Although the throne must be inherited by men, the identity of illegitimate children will inevitably be criticized and even hurt. Therefore, Uther Pendragon listened to the magician Merlin's suggestion and put Tolis in the foster care of ordinary nobles. Even the nobles of foster families don't know the true identity of Tolis, and neither does Tolis himself. Because of this, I live in his hometown as a stranger. Terrier? Ginseng? @ Need special care.

Then one day, Uther Pendragon died, and the domestic situation began to turmoil. At Merlin's suggestion, the Bishop summoned all the noble knights and elected the new king of Britain with a sword in the stone. However, no one can pull the sword out of the rock. For lack of a better way, the knights unanimously decided to choose the king through competition. Tolis also went, but he was not qualified for the tournament. The son of the foster family, Kai (pronounced "Kai" and later became one of the knights of the Round Table), participated in the war on behalf of the family. However, when Kay entered the meeting, she found that she had forgotten her sword, so she asked Tolis to go home and get it. Tolis hurried home and found the door locked. Everyone went to watch the tournament. It's not hard to imagine what happened afterwards. Tolis didn't have time to return to the arena to get the key, so he ran to the front of the church, pulled out the sword in the stone and gave it to Kay, which surprised everyone. Everyone put the sword back into the stone suspiciously, but even though it was repeated many times, no one could pull it out except Tolis. Thus, the knights finally accepted the new king. From this day on, Tolis was honored as King Arthur.

Because no one knows that this boy is the heir of Uther Pendragon, even if some knights don't want to, they still have to believe that he is the king of Britain given by God. Tolis, who lived in a foreign land since childhood, finally got the reward of his efforts.

Shortly thereafter, King Arthur married Queen Guinivia as a dowry, and the queen's father gave King Arthur the famous round table. But like his father Uther Pendragon, King Arthur had an illegitimate child. More boldly than his father, his cheating partner turned out to be his half-sister Morgan. King Arthur and this child are both uncles and fathers and sons, and this illegitimate child is Mordred who later rebelled.

During the reign of King Arthur, Britain ushered in unprecedented unity and strength. He helped the poor and established a prosperous kingdom. It was at this time that chivalry and the earliest code of conduct for chivalry were formed. He got the Excalibur from the Lake Fairy, and finally successfully repelled the Saxon invasion from the north through twelve battles. During this period, the Knights of the Round Table became an important part of the kingdom. Legend has it that King Arthur's knights reached 150 at most. They charged on the battlefield and discussed domestic affairs at the round table. Although they will also form some factions because of the coincidence or inconsistency of political views, there is no difference between status and monarch and minister at the round table, allowing everyone to speak freely. Many legendary stories happened on this legendary round table, including the search for the Holy Grail.

As time went on, King Arthur's territory continued to expand. He ruled Francie, finally defeated the declining Roman Empire, and was crowned by the Bishop in the Roman Cathedral, which was the most glorious period of arthurian legend's career. After world peace, King Arthur's interest began to shift to finding the legendary treasure. One by one, his knights left the castle to look for the legendary Holy Grail, either on orders or voluntarily, and most of them never came back. In this way, there were fewer knights on the round table and the powerful empire began to decline.

At this time, the extramarital affair between Lancelot, the knight of the Round Table and King Arthur's first knight, and Queen Guinivea was exposed. Lancelot-Garonne escaped, and Queen Guinevere was burned by King Arthur. However, Lancelot Galen rushed into the execution ground to rescue Guinevere and fled to France to establish his own territory. Although Lancelot-Garonne was later reluctantly returned to Guinevere for fear of reputation damage, King Arthur still sent troops to France, leaving his cousin Calvin Ying and nephew Mordred to manage the kingdom.

Mordred realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He rebelled and killed Gavin, wanted to marry (incest again), launched a war against King Arthur, and King Arthur returned to Lee. In this way, in the battle of Kamran, both armies lost their lives.

As fate line said, King Arthur finally killed Mordred with an Excalibur. He was fatally hit by Mordred, leaving only a knight Bedivere (sound "Bedivere") around him. King Arthur asked Bedivere to return the Excalibur to the Lake Demon. Bedivere lied to King Arthur twice in a row, but both failed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and threw the Excalibur into the lake.

King Arthur, who was dying, was taken to Avalon by a fairy (pronounced "Avalon"). It is said that he was finally buried there, and people believe that King Arthur is not dead, and he will come back again to save the world. It is said that this was in 452 AD.

(2) The truth of historical facts

It is more important to discuss with him the gender of King Arthur, that is, whether King Arthur really exists in history. Around 830 AD, Nennius, a Welsh monk, recorded the deeds of King Arthur in his book Historia Brittonum, which is the earliest written record of the legend of King Arthur. Although the place where the ancient Britons resisted the Anglo-Saxons (pronounced "Anglo-Saxon", the West Germanic people who invaded Britain in the 6th century A.D.) was consistent with the legend of King Arthur, and the remains of Camelot (pronounced "Camelot-Garonne Province", the legendary seat of King Arthur's imperial city) were discovered, there was even a round stone table. Unfortunately, however, archaeologists have not found the inscription of King Arthur on any historical sites or any cultural relics.

Historians who disagree believe that, just like Caesar in Rome, Muhammad in Arabia and Genghis Khan in Mongolia, assuming that King Arthur is a great king who has established an independent and powerful British kingdom, it is impossible for such a glorious name not to be passed down to future generations as a cultural relic. Just because there is no objective existence corresponding to King Arthur, the authenticity of the legend of King Arthur is doubtful. But even so, it seems to be a hundred times more difficult to deny the truth of the legendary story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table that has been circulating for nearly a thousand years than to prove it. The research and controversy about the existence of King Arthur has been going on for hundreds of years, so far no one can give overwhelming evidence.
