King Arthur

Like most of Arthurian legend, this depends on which version you have read. Gerald of Wales, who died in the 1200's, stated that he saw King Arthur exhumed. He claimed on the head stone it said 'Here lies buried the famous King Arthur with Guenevere his second wife in the island of Avalon.' If this is any indication of what the popular version of the story was, then the answer is two.

King Arthur is a legendary character, there is little evidence that he ever existed - despite this the Welsh Annals and Welsh Triads are a useful source of information. The legends suggest that if he did exist he was an British king (British in this case referring to the pre-Saxon dwellers of the land). Mythology refers to his castle being Camelot, but this is almost certainly a name given much later. If indeed Camelot did exist Cadbury Castle in Somerset is considered by some to be the most likely site of Arthur's base as excavations in the 60's and 70's showed re-fortification during the 5th/6th century and that it was used as a base by a powerful leader and his men.

the hermit who buries King arthur was once the Bishop of Canterbury

is a author of many books such as The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, Peter Pan, and Odyssey. The books are all classic starts books

He knows because he was known for his secrets and that's one that was being told all around Camelot. If Lancelot knew it, Arthur knew and if lots had known, Arthur would have known it too.

1. Arthur is a mythical figure

2. Best guess is that he might have been a Romano-British warlord

3. If anyone says that they know where "Arthur's" court was - they are lying

It all depends on which version one is referring to. The general theme of the entire Arthurian story is tragedy, though, so no happily ever after after ending. But with the promise of Arthur's return from Avalon, we are given hope. And there are plenty of good examples in the entire body of literature.

Actually, the original Arthur Angus Pendragon was born on September 9, 1424 - but due to the nature of his conceivement, he was noted as heir to the Pendragon throne... even though his father was not royalty. His father was one of Uther Pendragon's Palace guards. Merlin himself helped the guard commit adultery to consummate Arthur's birth.

They had a round table to show that no Knight was superior to another

Brother to Brother Yours To Life And Death

king Arthur became a king after he pulled out the sawed from the stone also he got the knight table as a present from Merlin th magian but the round table doesnt last that long to to sir lancelots betrail with king arthur.

King Arthur used to be a scientist that studied "ARTHROPODS" and he was tired of not having enough money to go around the world to discover more of his little critters so he tried to pull out Excalibur, thinking that he couldn't but would maybe get a little ransom of one hundred dollars. And after his GTL session, he went to the Excalibur rock thingy. There he watched the bravest and bulkiest knights get defeated by the ROCK so Arthur was nervous. When he gripped the handle of the Excalibur, he was raining baseballs on his face! As he jerked his arm up, the Excalibur came loose and he fell on his butt-ox. He looked in his hand and he had the Excalibur. Arthur then became KING and had Excalibur as his trusty sword though he did plan on selling it on Ebay....

Sir Gawain was a conflicted personality. He always wanted to do the right thing, but it didn't always work out that way.

Elizabeth I is linked to King Arthur in Edmund Spenser's allegorical tale "The Faerie Queene." This has been interpreted as propaganda that tries to link Elizabeth to genealogy that would give her a legal right to the throne, as some had questioned her legitimacy.

No, he (in once and future king) pulled excalibur from a stone and became king. Other versions he was given excalibur by the lady of the lake symbolizing that he would be king. King Arthur created the knights of the round table, he wasnt knighted.

Sir Gawain's wife was Ragnell who he married to save King Arthur from being killed by a giant.

One day King Arthur ran into a giant and the giant said he'd give Arthur a year and a day to find the answer to his riddle or else he'd die. Later an ugly hag came to the castle and promised to give Arthur the answer if she was allowed to marry his noblest knight. Sir Gawain agreed to save his uncle's life. Gawain kissed Ragnell and she transformed into a beautiful woman. She told he had to choose between her being beautiful during the day or beautiful at night. He told her he wouldn't choose for her and the curse was broken. She told him her brother, the giant from earlier had placed the curse upon her. Arthur is saved because Ragnell tells him the answer and everything ends happily. Hope I helped.

As soon as you start out, go to the right in the building to get your first spell. Then go down until you see a guy at the beginning of the path. Follow that path until you see a bridge, go in it. Once there, kill all the monsters. (If you kill them all successfully you get 75+ exp.) After you defeat all the monsters on the bridge keep following the path until you find the Canyon Beast. Climb up the steps to the right and go on the step below the step to the right of him. Wait until he throws the "hairballs" then go up and attack him by standing next to him and hitting "s". After you kill him go back to the bridge and get some more exp. (Level up attack, then magic, then armor in that order.) Go to where you started out and go the left and jump 4 times to get the pixie. Afterwards, go up and kill the Island Beast. Once you start out go to the left and use your magic attack on him. Then go to the right. He will pop up to the right and you should jump up and attack his head. (Danger: Don't touch his head with anything other than your sword and watch out for the fireballs.) After you kill up keep going up until you find a boat then enter it. A guy will talk to you just hit a. You will get an axe then go down and chop the tree with the orange bird sitting on it. A house will pop up go in it. A lady will talk to you and give you a health spell. Then keep chopping down trees in the forest until the log count meter on the bottom right of your screen says 100. Go to the house on the right side of the island on the beach. Give the guy the logs and the person's grandpa gives you a spell. Then go to the left and find the red trail. Use your skull key to open up the door and go in the castle. Once inside, (Fight off any enemies) find both keys and unlock the door to the next floor. Once there, keep going right, then go up, then go down and follow the path to the right until you find a flaming thing. Go inside it and get your final spell. Once you got it, find one more key on the second floor and head to the third and final floor. Once on the third floor, go up then left make sure that you have 1 key though. Then you have to fight the Red, Purple, and Green Knights. First fight the Red Knight, when you start out, he'll throw his axe at you just move to the left as soon as you see it. Then when he tries to go get his axe keep attacking him. Keep doing that until he's dead. Once you kill him move onto the Purple Knight. When you start out, jump onto the step to the right of the first flaming thing. When he starts to spin, jump so he doesn't hit you then attack him while he's in the corner. Hit him about 4 times then go back to the ledge. Keep doing that until he's dead. After you kill the Purple Knight, move onto the Green and final knight. When you start out, get about three steps away from the thing that shoots rocks. Once a rock goes in front of you, hit "s" like baseball. Then jump to the highest step and wait for him to go to the other side. Keep hitting him with rocks until he's dead. After that a gate will open up, go through it. There you have to keep jumping and attacking the giant bulb things. Dodge the fireballs: which is extremely difficult to do. Once you destroy the giant bulb things on each side, make your way up the stairs and destroy the final bulb thing. Then the Demon Beast's shield will go down then attack his face while still dodging the fireballs. After you get his health down to 0, then his eye will come down and you have to kill the eye, then the credits will roll and you beat the game.

Both were very oriented towards getting glory. Achilles' only reason for going to Troy is to enhance his own glory. Beowulf is not quite as direct about this, but the value of glory and fame in his society suggests that glory was very important for him as well. Beowulf is perhaps a little bit more selfless, in that he is also helping out a small kingdom. Achilles does not care much about the Greeks, as he wishes for them to do poorly just to beg him to come back. This wish of his results in the deaths of many Greeks, including his best friend Patroclus.

Both heroes have a final enemy, though Beowulf has two, and even three if you consider the dragon at the end. In Beowulf, the story centers around his upcoming battle with Grendel and then gives us the bonus of his battle with Grendel's mother. The dragon at the end almost seems like an afterthought, and gives Beowulf the glory of dying nobly.

Achilles's final enemy is Hector, whom he beats about as easily as Beowulf beats Grendel. The ease of their victories shows the authors of these works trying to demonstrate how vastly superior these men were. These days, we like difficult struggles to prove our heroes' worth. Back then, a hero had little trouble dispatching his enemies.

Having said this, Beowulf DOES struggle to kill Grendel's mother, but even here, his victory is assured.

Both men were not kings when they did the deeds they are most famous for. Achilles is a prince, since his father Peleus is still alive. I am sorry, but I do not know Beowulf's actual status when he fights Grendel, but he does not become a king until later in the story.

Beowulf does not have the companion that Achilles has (Patroclus). Nor does he have any of Achilles' anger. This is a very big difference between the two. As I said before, both men are fueled by pride and glory, but Achilles later becomes fueled by vengeance over the slaying of his friend Patroclus. This leads Achilles to fight his biggest enemy, Hector. Beowulf does not have the anger motivation.

Last thought, Achilles dies in a fairly poor way. He is shot in the heel by Paris. I believe he is killed this way because no mortal being can kill him in hand to hand combat. The poets needed to kill him though, to make his story more tragic. No hero wants to die this way. Beowulf, on the other hand, dies fighting a dragon, which is probably one of the coolest ways to die in his culture. Beowulf's death is definitely better than Achilles. You could argue that his character is too, as he is motivated by glory and the eagerness to help, and not glory and rage.

King Arthur live about 22464years ago hello people.

He isn't, except in fiction & mythology, principally because he never existed, at least as King of Britain (and still less of England, which came centuries after his supposed time). He inspired a very good Monty Python film though.

Sir Ector and some think Merlin raised him. Merlin did not raise Arthur. Merlin helped Uther quench his lust for Igraine and therefore conceive Arthur but for a price. Merlin told Uther he would help if Uther consented to give up the child that would be conceived in that union. Uther of course said yes--never mind what Igraine, the mother might feel, but this was a different time from ours! Merlin knew the child--Arthur--was special and assured Uther that the babe would be raised by a man of honor--Ector.
