A "fascinating historical detective work" that pins down the real story of the legendary medieval king and the court of Camelot (Spectator).

The Holy Grail, the kingdom of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and the magical sword Excalibur are all key ingredients of the legends surrounding King Arthur. But who was he really, where did he come from, and how much of what we read about him in stories that date back to the Dark Ages is true? So far, historians have failed to show that King Arthur really existed at all, and for a good reason—they have been looking in the wrong place.

In this "vivid and thought-provoking" book, Alistair Moffat shatters all existing assumptions about Britain's most enigmatic hero (Birmingham Evening Mail). With references to literary sources and historical documents, as well as archeology and the ancient names of rivers, hills, and forts, he strips away a thousand years of myth to unveil the real King Arthur. And in doing so, he solves one of the greatest riddles of them all—the site of Camelot itself

A great deep dive into the Celts, the Scottish Borders, and the possibility of a great unifying General named Arthur. So good I will read it again and get the print version.

Deep, ancient, convoluted history researched, compiled and explained simply by the man who does it best. This book is so great I think I’m going to relisten as soon as I’m done. What I love about his books is that they create interest in the subject so that we are left wanting more. I wasn’t overly excited about the narrator, but she did fine. Highly recommend this book if your a member of the Celtic diaspora.

Classic Mr. Moffat

It’s supposed to be a book about Arthur, but he is hardly mentioned. It’s a wonderful narrative of early Scotland and its Borderlands, but as it being a full depiction of Arthur his times, and the lands he wandered is a bit misleading. His name wasn’t even mentioned until 45 minutes into the book and while he’s mentioned in passing there was only maybe one half chapter given over to his story, but it was not an in depth discussion. The last three hours of a ten hour book is where he comes in, in any distinction. I loved the book as a narrative of early Britain and its peoples, how language and places were influenced by them, and how outside forces ebbed and flowed to create the history that is still unfolding during and directly following the Roman conquest of The Isles.
