[Loch-ruadh] Fw: [SCALibrarians] SCOUT: Periodical Historical Atlas of Europe

[Rhonda Hays]

The Romans in Britain and King Arthur...there is this book called Sword at
Sunset by Rosemary Sutcliff.  Read it while I was doing a paper in college
about the "modern" Arthurian texts.  She went into lots of detail about the
Romans in Britain, wrote several books and did some serious research on it.
Perhaps a search on her as an author might lead you to some sources.  Her
work is fiction, but she obviously had many academic sources.

If you have other questions, I still have a few books laying about the house
concerning the Matter of Arthur and I am making my way through the
Alliterative Morte Arthur, page by footnoted page.

This website is one of the best I've seen so far. The maps seem accurate and
he has disclaimers for the parts of the known world that are in dispute or
unknown. Very good for SCAdians. The only bad part is that all the place
names and people/tribe names are in Latin. The section of Roman battles and
emperors are quite thouroughly researched.

I have great interest in Roman involvement in Britain and the Saxon invasion
afterwards. As an afterthought, in my opinion, it seems strange that during
and after the fall of the Roman Empire (starting about 400ad)  Christianity
had a huge hand in pushing known world civilisation into the dark ages.

And finally, that brings me to Arthur. Does anyone have any decent info on
the Arthurian legend?
