Arthur. The Once and Future King
Description
In this program, Michael Wood explores the greatest of British myths: the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Traveling through the Celtic world from Cornwall and Wales to Brittany, Ireland, and Scotland, Wood uncovers the extraordinary story of how a shadowy Welsh freedom-fighter became a medieval superman, and eventually the model of a Christian hero. On the way we discover the real stories behind the Round Table, Excalibur, and the Holy Grail itself.
