That is a good point, so even more inaccurate!

I mean I reckon that the people in the tales may have existed, like Hercules would have been one of those guys you see on the 'world's strongest man' TV shows, but we have no way to know for sure how many(if any) were.

"I mean I reckon that the people in the tales may have existed..."

King Arthur! Avalon! The Round Table! Something had to inspire all that too. A personal dream of mine is to walk on Glastonbury on a misty morning or evening.

Maybe there is magic there and it's just lost to time.

The way I see it, *something* happened if stories are still being told about them. The 12th Doctor said stories are where memories go when they've been forgotten, so I can't avoid wondering what if? Just...what IF?

well, according to the oldest sources we have, Arthur if he existed probably lived circa the 6th century AD and was one of the warlords/Romanized British nobles trying to defend Britain from the invading Saxons (whether he was actually actually some form of royalty who knows.) So you'd have to substitute an early Dark Ages British (not English) warband following their liege lord in battle against equally early-Dark Ages Germanic warbands for the cultured Norman-inspired knights who lived in fancy castles and helped their king unite England by subduing/making treaties with the lesser client-kings. Camlann, Celliwig...if Arthur lived he was speaking some dialect of the native British language family that evolved into Welsh and Cornish and the like, not English or French, and he certainly would never have considered himself "king of England"---England didn't exist yet, was going to be founded by the very people he was fighting. If he really woke to come to anyone's aid, it'd probably be Wales, not England, since that was where most of the Britons ended up after the Saxons took over. It's fascinating to think about how the legend changed and grew.
