Episode 167: Survived a Ghost -King Arthur

Hello      Welcome back This is survived with Sophie and LexiWe started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys moreThrough many different topics King Arthur stands as Britain's most enduring legendary monarch. His tales form the cornerstone of the medieval literary corpus called the Matter of Britain.Welsh chronicles portray Arthur leading post-Roman British forces against Anglo-Saxon invaders around the late 5th and early 6th centuries. Though mentioned in the Annales Cambriae and Historia Brittonum, these accounts emerged three centuries after his purported lifetime, leading most period historians to question his historical existence. Early Welsh poetry like Y Gododdin also references him. Through Welsh mythological evolution, Arthur emerged either as Britain's stalwart defender against mortal and supernatural threats or as a mystical folkloric figure, sometimes connected to Annwn, the Welsh otherworld.
