This was painful. The history shows I have watched all explain how the whole “King Arthur” thing is a story by a monk written around 1000 AD or so. It’s a great story, so another monk wrote another version in 1300’s. And now we have modern history researchers trying to prove this fictional character must exist, because it’s such a great story.

If the story is that romantic and apealling, then much like Dante’s Inferno, even though it was all made up, modern people insist its actual truth.
