Clearly just from what you've y you've said, we we've we've heard about Wales, about Brittany, about England, about you know Cornwall, uh d sort of slightly break that off, England, if you like, about northern England, um about different traditions of poetry, about different traditions of of chronicle, uh all set in different bits of the Middle Ages.
Is there any point of
in asking these questions like who was the real Arthur?
Where did he live?
What were what was the round table?
And so on and so forth.
I mean i or are we missing the point entirely?
Is this just a purely literary tradition?
Does it does it ultimately derive, in your opinion, from a r a real person in one real place?
What are the sort of commonalities of King Arthur himself in in the different tradition, you know pre Mannory traditions?
Who is he and what's he like?
Super strong in a superhuman sense or Yeah, yeah, especially
As kingship develops in the Middle Ages from a sort of a a a chieftain, great man, you know, man on the hill sort of uh warlord uh archetype to a more institutionalised political king, crown, you know, late medieval kingship, does uh w do we see the the legends of Arthur track with that development in their content?
Is it too trite just to sort of draw the analogy with the way that uh you know cinematic universes work at the moment where for example it uh everyone's sort of quite cool with there being lots of different Batmans.
You know, there's a Batman in the cartoon boom Batman, thank you very much.
Uh No, Batmans, I'm going with.
Uh uh where you've got you know, there various bats, yes, okay.
There various different acts.
Tell me.
I mean do we ha we have versions of this in our world today, I suppose is is the the small point of the thing.
