The historical Arthur, if he existed, was a battle-leader of the dark-age (5th-6th century) Britons against the invading Anglo-Saxons. In the Middle Ages, King Arthur was a figure of legend, pseudohistory (false history), and romance, and in modern times the hero of countless novels. ‘Then Arthur Fought’ is something new: a quasi-history (as-if-it-were history) of Arthur – a plausible, medieval-style, chronicle compatible with known history. Drawing upon hundreds of medieval texts, and his own inventions, Wiseman has forged a unique conception of Arthur and his times. It spans close to three centuries (from the decline of Roman Britain to the English conquest of the Britons’ last lowland territories), and much of Europe – the fortunes of love and (more often) war take Arthur or his compatriots to Gaul, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Byzantium. This abridged version of 'Then Arthur Fought' for e-readers includes 20 colour maps, genealogies, and dramatis personae. It will appeal to anyone interested in dark-age history and legends, or in new frameworks for Arthurian fiction. Then Arthur Fought is an extraordinary achievement. ... An absorbing introduction to the history and legends of the period [and] ... a fascinating synthesis. — from the Foreword by Patrick McCormack, author of the Albion trilogy A long and lavishly detailed fictional fantasia on the kind of primary source we will never have for the Age of Arthur. [It] should not work, should fall flat as the driest possible scholarly parlor-game and yet the thing is soaringly intelligent and, most unlikely of all, hugely entertaining. It is a stunning achievement, enthusiastically recommended. — Editor’s Choice review of Then Arthur Fought by Steve Donoghue, Indie Reviews Editor, Historical Novel Society (2016) , Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Lulu, Lulu, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2018-01-13, Release date: 2018-01-13, Studio: Lulu, Sales rank: 552752.
