King Arthur, a fierce leader, knight, and some say great ruler. The debate on

The poem
says, “In Arthur's tyme a table round was whereat sate, as yet a plot of godly ground, sets
forth that rare estate.” Of course, we can not leave out King Arthur's wife Queen Guinevere.
Monmouth portrays Guinevere as Roman lady who was raised by the Duke Cardor of

In addition, there is not much evidence that King Arthur was an authentic literature figure in
history. For example, Geoffrey of Monmouth and Welsh monk Nennius was writing about

history that logically not one person could possibly be in all those battles. The battles were
at Mouth of River Gleni, the river by the Britons called Douglas, river Bassas, Wood

stories in different cultures such as Asia, Spanish, or African cultures When a person truly
thinks about it, the King Arthur tale is not that original or uncommon. For example, in the
Old Testament in Genesis six, all the people in the world were wicked and sinful except for
Noah and his family they were righteous and sought after God. God told Noah that because
of man’s wickedness in the world He was going to flood the earth by making it rain for forty
days and forty nights. Noah’s job was to build an Ark in the next couple years and tell the
people of the coming flood. Only did his family and all the animals go with Noah on the
