«The legend of King Arthur, great ruler of Britain, is one of history's most
enduring tales. In the best known version of the King Arthur story, he resided
in Camelot with his wife, Queen Guinevere, swinging his great Excalibur sword
while conferring with his Knights of the Round Table. Arthur was a pillar of
virtue, a knight in shining armor heralding chivalry, truth and honor. He fought
nobly in the Crusades and sought the Holy Grail. Betrayed by Lancelot, King
Arthur remains at rest, waiting to return. Most of these story elements were
contrived in 1469 by Sir Thomas Malory in his classic Le Morte d'Arthur.
Produced in 2010 for the Smithsonian Channel, Mystery Files: King Arthur
casts the legend aside and makes an effort to look for the real-life inspiration
behind the King Arthur tale. Dr. Tobias Capwell, Professor Christopher Snyder,
Dr. Stuart Prior, Geoffrey Ashe and Blacksmith Hector Cole all contribute their
expert opinions on the matter. The end conclusion is that the legendary King
Arthur was likely based on two real-life 5th Century warriors: Ambrosius
Aurelianus and Riothamus. Poetic license was taken and the two Roman-era
warriors were seemingly merged into one hallowed character in 1134, when the
first full account of King Arthur was published in the History of the Kings
of Britain» (Travis Simpskins).
Episodio 7 della prima stagione della serie tv Mystery Files, in onda il 10 febbraio 2010 in Gran Bretagna.
