Produktbeschreibung

The legend of King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone is known throughout England. The location of the Stone and the true beginnings of where it actually happened is less well known.

This is the story of how Arthur became King of Wessex and then of England.

Simply joining up the dots in and around a modern Somerset village is all we need. We can of course refer to Glastonbury in Somerset and Tintagel in Cornwall as traditional points of reference. Although these are important places within the story of Arthur, they will not tell you how Arthur became King nor where it happened.

No, in this regard we need to visit Somerset, England and a "moated stone" near to the village of Ilton. Reading historical transcripts, we have the following references to consider. This will be the starting place for our story.

"It is haunted ground; superstition has woven her web over the ruins, and the peasant will show you into the courtyard an enchanted stone, a mere smooth boulder of reddish water-worn rock, which no power of man or engine avails to move".

Autorenporträt

I decided to write about Wadhams Castle, Somerset and historical Knightly deeds of King Arthur and the moated link with King Alfred. In addition, acknowledging the philanthropist attributes of the Wadham family at the village Ilton. Wadhams Castle is also known as Merryfield House, a moated and remote location with a large stone at its centre. The moated stone has a deep hole where a sword could have been located. The origins of this moated place is Roman. Possibly the location of King Arthur's residence. We do know from writings of a local monk, this moated stronghold of King Arthur, with its stone was gifted to King Alfred. In 1942, this same location was preparing for D-Day and a hospital for troops from the 101st Airborne. Is this the location of the sword in the stone - excalibur the legendary sword of King Arthur?
