The Sword and the King: "The Legend of King Arthur"
from New American Mythos · host Michael Belch
In this episode of New American Mythos, we step into post-Roman Britain, where the death of a king leaves the realm fractured and waiting for order. When a mysterious sword appears in stone, the sign of rightful kingship comes not to the ambitious lords who seek it, but to an unknown squire named Arthur. What follows is not instant glory but a hard founding—war to secure the crown, mercy that tempers power, and the creation of Camelot’s Round Table, where strength is bound by oath and fellowship. Arthur’s rise reveals a deeper question that echoes through history: can authority be received as a burden of justice rather than seized as a prize of ambition?Stay in touch and support the show!Mailing ListPatreon__________*We tell America’s old stories with the warmth of firelight and the weight of unanswered questions.***YouTube:** [@IronScrewPublishing]www.ironscrewpublishing.com
