Description

Moffat builds up a thesis which enables him to reveal the location and identity of the real Arthur, argueing that he was not a king but a cavalry general chosen around 500AD to lead a coalition army. The key to Moffat's thesis lies in place-names and their derivation, and that the lost medieval city of Roxburgh and its castle were Arthur's Camelot.
