How Is King Arthur Real

Decent Essays
Since you are here, I assume you want to know the truth. Good. The last time we spoke, I told you a little about our "characters", however I have not yet told you about Arthur. I know I said he was a servant, but I did not reveal much more. I decided that today I will start with him, do not worry, when this narrative is finished, when there is nothing else to explain, I will give you proof that all I am saying is true.
The first thing you should know is that magic is real. There are sorcerers, magical creatures, witches... and more! Magic was responsible for the death of Arthur's mother, just not in the way you that think. Arthur's father – Uther Pendragon - did not make a deal with a witch so his wife, Ygraine could conceive. Arthur's was not actually born of magic. In fact, what happened was quite simple. A sorcerer attacked a village in Cenred's kingdom, Ealdor. The same village where Merlin was born. This sorcerer killed many people, among them was Ygraine. Arthur was only (or) was barely four years old at

Uther raised his son with all the love and attention he could. Arthur grew up in the village; he did not know anything different, thus you could say he was a happy boy. He had his father, friends, and food on his table, and he could not have asked for more. Uther did his best, he taught Arthur how to write and read, but he wanted more for his son; more than he could provide. Uther did not want Arthur to spend his life raising fields and after a few letters to Hunith, he got Arthur a job; he would be a servant in the Castle of Camelot. Arthur was not happy about it, considering, he hated nobility, and he had a reason for that. The king of Essetir, Cenred, knew that Ealdor was going to be attacked by the sorcerer, and did nothing about it. Cenred had a reputation of not caring what happed to the small villages in his

    Arthur was arguably the most legendary king of them all, with many legends with his name in them. Many Arthurian legends have things in common. " Merlin and the Dragons" (Story 1) and "Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady" (Story 2) have a lot of things in common. Despite having some striking differences, “Merlin and the Dragons” and “Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady” are amazingly similar in many ways, and justify a lengthy examination. Character qualities, themes, archetypes, and many other things are comparable between these two stories.…

    The main them I found were Chivalry/heroism - In the Middle Ages the knight were deemed to represent the height of chivalry and heroism. Monty Python mocks this chivalry and heroism by presenting Arthur's knights as the antitheses of their medieval counterparts. Violence - What makes violence funny? How does Python make us laugh at a limbless knight or at slaughtered wedding guests?…

    There is evidence in the text that he may still be alive. For one, he has never been seen dead. Also, before he left for Avalon, he vowed he would come back, and lastly, he was seen alive by a shepherd boy. Maybe it is a good sign that Arthur has not had to return to Britain, but someday if Britain is in terrible times perhaps another little boy or girl may stumble upon the cavern under the hazel tree and wake Arthur and the Arthurian legend will be…

    Plenty of our favorite classic tales are set in a mystical world where a noble character is tangled in conflict. Red riding hood gives us the quest of traveling across the forest while being wary of a talking wolf. However monotonous or maybe cliche, medieval romance literature does its best job at staying on point and keeping the reader engaged in the story. In Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, the author used the magical Green Knight in order to push Sir Gawain into the quest that will prove if his allegiance to the code of chivalry is over the value of his life.…

    In his work, Morte Darthur, Malory covers a lengthy period of time with few words through the narratives of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Throughout the text, Malory does not waste words on smooth transitions, instead bluntly marking the beginning and end of each tale. These blunt and straightforward transitions are a classic trait of Malory’s writings. Though Malory draws from the French tales of Arthur and his knights, Malory does not choose to approach the narrative in the poetic format as his predecessors instead choosing a prose format instead.…

    The legends of King Arthur date back to 9th century. Many authors throughout history have written about the great King Arthur. The first written description of his entire life, from death to birth, came in the 12th century and was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth. There are many skeptics about some of the stories of his life, mostly because so many different authors have written about his life and they are all different.

    The story about to be told is now probably a long forgotten tale, the true origin of King Arthur’s father, a story that has been subjected to the fabrication and the falsehoods by future writers desiring fame and a place in history. These are the real events leading to King Uther Pendragon’s birth, the father to King Arthur, retold by me, Matt Tanzman, a noble and possibly one of the greatest historians and scholars ever in, or likely ever to be in King Arthur’s court. My writing regarding the father of King Arthur’s origin had been made in secret, written in the Latin language to assure secrecy, and hidden away until its’ future potential rediscovery. King Arthur didn’t want this information about his father’s origin being exposed and widespread…

    he treatment that a stereotypical woman in the Dark Ages received was controversial because they were treated with deification and adulation, but were not respected as capable members of the human race. Most of the knight’s code of chivalry that they prided themselves on was based on the assumption that women were unable to achieve much on their own, and therefore, men had to accomplish the women’s tasks for them. The characters Morgan le Faye, Lady Bercilak, and Queen Guenevere in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight each had traits that separated them from each other but they also had traits that made them alike in someway. If not for the ulterior motives of Morgan le Faye, the epic poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, would not have occurred. Morgan le Faye is Arthur’s half sister and a sorcerer.…
