THE TRUE KING

Those rare excerpts where Arthur is shown to have giant proportions.

The way it's described here, though, leads me to imagine Arthur is probably in the 7+ ft. range, given that the average height of medieval men was around 5'6.

The other interesting thing to note is the mention of Guinevere's hair. I've talk about it before, but it does lend to the impression that Gwen's hair has some quasi-supernatural properties, according to Chretien.

I saw your tags in a post about the 5th century chaos going on with plagues, volcanic ashes, etc. You said there was a book that mentioned King Arthur. Could you share the title of the book?

Hi! I was referring to British Battles 493-937 by Andrew Breeze! In there he mentions the battle of Camlann (537) following the volcanic winter (536) which literally blotted out the sun and caused widespread crop failure.
