Quote: The basic premise is Vortigern=Arthur=RiothamusImpossible. Arthur and Riothamus have been equated before, and even Vortimer and Riothamus. But Arthur and Vortigern both have legends and a set of tales attached to each of them - the differences are enormous, you'd have to assume that the one guy went into hiding and lived another life incognito. I discussed this with someone before, the implications are too unbelievable to even say that it would be hypothetically possible... :evil:
Quote: but should really be called Vortigern and the Fall of Roman Britain: A Narrative History for Fifth Century Britain, but that probably wouldn't sell as well, except to those who know who Vortigern is.Well, I must read it then. :wink:
