About Us

The guy behind the website

I took my first trip to Britain when I was fourteen years old, but it was long before that, that I began to take an interest in Arthurian legends and literature. Ever since I can remember I fantasized about being one of the Knights of the Round Table, perhaps Tristan or Galahad. I always wanted to find the Holy Grail growing up or the Ark of the Covenant. Adventure was just part of my interest, but deep inside I just loved the legends. The parts of the stories that give you goose bumps no matter how many times you hear them.

At the young age of thirteen, I read Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur for the first time, and from there I began to read just more and more on Arthurian Legends and even the history behind it all. The summer after my sophomore year in college I flew to England and began researching some of the stories myself. I spent a good deal of time in Glastonbury and Cornwall and also quite a bit of time in northwest Wales. I returned to the same places the following year and begin to discover more and more of these places, landmarks and stories for myself.

It’s been almost 20 years since I wrote and built the very first version of this website. But I am excited to release this brand new, updated version now in 2019.

At one point in time I desperately wanted to author a book on Arthurian Legend and History, but for now I’ve settled for this Web site. So, what do I really believe about King Arthur and all the stories? Well, that is still a matter of debate in my opinion. I will let you decide for yourself. So I invite you to read through my website and check out everything for yourself!

Happy learning…
