King Aurther's Round Table Found!

[JackLuis]

Well, kind'a, sort'a, but they think they know, maybe.

Historians locate King Arthur's Round Table

Historians claim to have finally located the site of King Arthur’s Round Table – and believe it could have seated 1,000 people.

It appears to have been in Chester.

But rather than it being a piece of furniture, historians believe it would have been a vast wood and stone structure which would have allowed more than 1,000 of his followers to gather.

Now let's see a few Arthurian Orgy stories, with a cast of a thousand.

OK. Let's re-build it !

Daily Torygraph

There may or may not be substance to this report. The Torygraph revels in the ancient because most of its readers still can't face the fact that the British Empire died a painful death over the last century.So the poor souls have to live in the past, and the paper knows and panders to its dwindling readership.

I'll mostly continue to live and write in the present, thanks. Despite the fact that the city in which I grew up is dominated by Arthur's Seat. (That's a hill.)

Fine, but can we get back to the orgies with a cast of thousands? I like Guenivere on the throne with a strap-on.

Feel free folks...

I'm not trying to stop you.

With all that armor and pikes and broadswords lying about an orgy would be a little precarious. Ouch, ahhh, ouch, fuc.., ouch!

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

There was a King, and Queen.

There were alot of knights, and ladies.

They fucked and fucked and fucked and fucked and fucked.

Wine was served.

The fucking resumed en masse.

Some mistakes were made as to who was doing what to whom more often than any one wants to admit.

More people liked it than they wanted to admit.

They all did that again.

A system of government was based a watery tart hurling cutlery about.

And they all lived happily ever after, but walked with severe limps.

The End.

Thanks for the thread, Jack Luis. I love reading about ancient artifacts being discovered in England since America is not old enough to have much of the like, especially from the days of knights in armor and Roman conquerors.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Yeah, very few of the First Nations civilizations built in stone so any traces are very hard to find. Once the European diseases wiped them out, the cities dissolved. Cultures disappeared that we never will know anything about because they left no material traces.

Um...what?

You do realize that there were people here just as long as there were people in Europe, right?

"America's not old enough...." sheesh. News flash: no one "discovered" this continent. It was here all along, and populated with cities, and families, and everything.

As many as there were in Europe by the best estimation. Until the smallpox and such hit, there were cities as large or larger than any the Old World had to offer. Allard, get a copy of 1491. It will open your eyes greatly.

Excellent book.

Sometimes it's hard for me to credit the things that still come out of people's mouths...or brains/hands, as the case may be.

Do people really still believe that bullshit?

 

[TE999]

"I am Arthur, King of the Britons, I demand to see the master of this castle!"

"Your father was a hamster and your mother smelled of Elderberries! Go away English pig-dog or I shall taunt you again."

This event rates a sequel to 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.

"Oh come on can't I face a liittle peril"

"No"

"Bet you're gay"

"...am not"

Poor Galahad... Lancealot never lets him do anyone

The picture that heads the story is of the medieval Round Table that hangs in the Great Hall in Winchester.

That was probably made to give apparent legitimate descent from the ancient Kings of Britain.

The same has been said about King Arthur's Hall which was a feature of Windsor Castle (and part of it still stands). That was a circular building. The table inside it was annular - like a doughnut with more hole than doughnut - with a break in the edge for servants to deliver food and drink. The Windsor Castle "Round Table" preceded the Winchester one and could have seated about 100. The Winchester one? About 20.

Both Round Tables were political statements by Kings whose antecedents were dubious.

Tuts Og, I thought you knew your history...

Kings of England surely, or at that time just a part of it. Britain as we know it now didn't exist for many centuries after that. (Not by English military conquest of my land.) And it won't exist for much longer. The current Tory/LD English coalition ensures that Scotland will be independent in the next decade or so.

I'm part English (we're all bastard races on these wee islands), but I'll stand taller and prouder when that finally happens. And I'll be very happy when YOUR Trident base (Scotland has never voted for it) is no longer 20 miles from my home.

Take care with your anglophobia Og.

With best wishes.

[JackLuis]

OK Scotty, where is your story?

How would you approach a Round Table story?

Knights jousting in the Yard, while the King jousts in his chambers?

 

[polynices]

Round tables and wimples? Here's what really happened at Arthur's court: Magic Arthur.

Arthur was supposed to be a King of Britain as it was then known. His mythical rule of "Britain" didn't include Scotland, Wales, or even parts of Northern England. It was English Kings who wanted to claim the approval of the Arthurian Myth.

The Romans named Britain, supposedly because they misheard Prython, one of the tribes of SE England. They referred to the province as Britannia. Their definition preceded any idea of English, Scots or Welsh as nations.

PS. Don't you mean anglophilia?

I don't do historical fiction Jack

I've quite enough to keep me occupied in the present.

[Scotsman69]

OK, you have a point.

The Romans called that part of the island which they conquered Britain. What they conquered was largely England and north of that lay Caledonia. I live a mile from the Antonine Wall which marked the northern limit of Roman military occupation for only 20 years or so, when they retreated to the more substantial Hadrian's Wall a hundred miles south.

But the current sense of the term Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) has been common usage since the c16.

And aye, Anglophilia. I shouldn't post so late at night...

I watched a TV programme recently on the Romans' final attempt to conquer Caledonia. According to the programme, the Romans failed because they didn't realise that the tribes North of Hadrian's Wall, or even the Antonine, did not have an overall leader, nor did any tribe recognise any agreement made with another tribe.

Every time they conquered one tribe/clan, they had to conquer another, then another and another, by which time the leaders of the first tribe had changed and the tribe no longer recognised the treaty.

Like England and Wales, the Scots took a long time to establish one ruling dynasty, and even then that dynasty wasn't seen as legitimate by all - until the Scots started fighting the English, and then first a Welsh King and later a Scots King took over England. (Then the Dutch followed by Hanoverian)

History question: Who was the last true-born English King?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Wasn't that the chap William killed in 1066?
