Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur is a book by Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd that delves into the historical origins of King Arthur. The authors separate legend from fact, exploring Arthur?s story through literary and geographical sources. They argue that Arthur was not the romanticized Christian king of medieval tales but rather a Dark Age warlord known as the "Leader of Battles". The book traces Arthur?s family tree, identifies his warriors, and pinpoints his battlegrounds. Using maps and original sources, Blake and Lloyd challenge conventional theories about Arthur?s identity and even attempt to solve the mystery of his burial site. If you're fascinated by Arthurian history and want a fresh perspective on the legendary figure, this book offers a compelling read. Ref Y 6.
