Public View of the History of King Arthur (Artidarus)

Movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail lead us to believe that Arthur was a British king who founded the round table, fell in love with lady Guenivere, and argued with Sir Lancelot. New archialogical finds are pushing towards a new story. The new movie King Arthur is on the right track, but is not historicly acurate.

Artidarus was born on a small farm somewhere in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire). At a young age, he was taken to Rome, where he was taught to fight and ride. He became a large political figure in Rome. Then, being a Roman General, was assigned a post (in Britania Maximus) and commanded a large group of Romeo-British men. There was no Lancelot, Guenivere, or Merlin. A Saxon keel 15,000 strong marched on Hadrian's Wall just as the Romans abandoned Britania. Artidarus advanced infront of them, and defeated them in one of the most famous battles of all time, Badon Hill.

The layout was simple. Arthur and his Romeo-British Legionaries marched over Badon Hill. On the other side to the left were the Atrebetans, with Onager(catapult) and missle support. To Arthur's right, there was a small river, about six feet deep, and on the far bank were the Saxons. The Saxon army was arranged as followes. 1st line- Bucallarii(early pictish crossbows)(also called arablasts) 2nd line- Saxon Keel light infantry 3rd line- Saxon Hearth Men, heavy sword infantry 4th line- Cavalry/Sea Raiders(light bow-men)

To the Saxons south were more Atrebatans, traped by the Saxons. Arthur crossed the river with support of Atrebetan Woad (warriors who dye there skin with woad, which turns them blue and makes them look horribly frightning)-continued- Woad Berserkers, who were drunk and high on Berserker Weed(herbs that drive you insane momentarily). He defeated the Saxon army, and saved the other Atrebetan forces to the south. Thats the battle of Badon Hill.

Arthur's life after this battle is unkown.........
