Think Beowulf with attitude. But the legend got a lot of "fluff" added to it as centuries passed. For instance the French added Lancelot, a French knight who was the best fighter in the world and steals the kings wife :sick[1]:. The historical Arthur was first mentioned in a History of Britain around the 650 AD, well before the age of knights and chivalry. He was a battle master of the Romanized-Celts who took on the defense of England after it was abandoned by the Romans and fought a series of battles against the invading Saxons. They had been pouring into England by the boatload for about a hundred years, but there's evidence that Arthur may have been so successful, that they began to flee back the mainland of Europe. <- spontaneous insertion of boring facts
Kammu, thanks for the encouragement!
Username, I think technically those pronunciations are correct based on the spelling. Rovole is probably right that it doesn't matter as long as it's consistent, I was just wondering if there was a common norm. Thanks guys
