Traditionally called King Arthur, an early chronicler called Nennius refers to him as 'dux bellorum', a term designating a military leader rather than a king. Nennius also names Arthur as the victor in a series of twelve battles against the Saxons, which culminate in a decisive victory at Mount Badon. The early Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen depicts him as the leader of a group of semi-mythological warriors with super powers.

Guinevere is Arthur's wife and queen; according to the Vulgate Cycle and Malory, she is the daughter of Leodegrance of Carmelide. Though one of the Welsh Triads (Triad 56) speaks of Arthur's three great queens (all named Gwenhwyfar), later romance generally gives him only one wife named Guinevere. Geoffrey of Monmouth introduces the notion of Guinevere's infidelity (with Modred) while Arthur is fighting on the continent. See similar questions...

Well, it's just a story, and just one version of it at that, but I like to think that it is pretty close. Not that I think T. H. White imagined anything remotely like the Liberty Round Table, mind you! But a group of dedicated individuals working on abolishing "Might" was exactly what the dying Arthur prophecies.

In fact we do not know. Two Saxon buildings probably from a larger settlement were excavated during building work to the north east of the cemetery site, but there is no way of knowing whether this was the settlement associated with this cemetery. One would expect that the king would have lived in a rather grand hall, but this has never been found. Unfortunately, the chances of ever finding it are remote for several reasons.

Merlin plays many roles in Arthurian literature, including bard, prophet, magician, advisor, and warrior. Though usually a figure who supports Arthur and his vision of Camelot, Merlin is, because of the stories in which he is said to be the son of a devil, sometimes presented as a villain. Celtic tradition contains a number of related figures-the Welsh Myrddin, the Scottish Lailoken, and the Irish Suibhne-who have characteristics similar to those of Merlin. See similar questions...

Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam are the six great religions of the world. There is no founder for Hinduism. All the other religions have their founders. They are named after the name of the founder (except Islam). Jainism is only another form of Buddhism. Sikhism is based chiefly on Hinduism and partly on Islam. Brahmoism is born of Hinduism and Christianity and so on with other minor religions. See similar questions...

The talking-book program was established by an act of Congress in 1931 to serve blind adults. It was expanded in 1952 to include children, in 1962 to provide music materials, and again in 1966 to include individuals with other physical impairments that prevent the reading of standard print.

Astronomers have found convincing evidence for a supermassive black hole in the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, the galaxy NGC 4258, the giant elliptical galaxy M87, and several others. Scientists verified the existence of the black holes by studying the speed of the clouds of gas orbiting those regions. In 1994, Hubble Space Telescope data measured the mass of an unseen object at the center of M87. See similar questions...

Bedivere and Kay (Bedwyr and Cai in Welsh sources) are among the warriors earliest associated with Arthur. The author of Culhwch and Olwen (ca. 1100) says of Bedwyr that he never shrank from any enterprise on which Cai was bound. Wace says that Bedivere and Kay are Arthur's two most loyal subjects. In the late fourteenth-century Alliterative Morte Arthure and other works that tell the story of the Giant of St. See similar questions...

Forgive me if this has already been highlighted, but I wasn't posting this time last year when this was fresh... On March 28, 2006, Dr. Craig, Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California, and Dr. Ehrman, James A. Gray Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, debated the status of the Christian claim to Jesus' resurrection from the perspective of historical data.

The DCGs were a concept of russr after discussions with other Defcon goons about the lack of quality technology meetings in their various local cities. They were introduced at Defcon 12 with the initial 6 DCGs. Today, there are dozens of Defcon goons involved with the DCG program in one manner or another. See similar questions...

In its current form Tapegerm started in late May 2000, though it's probably best to think of it as always coming into existence. A long time ago ape people became human people and soon after this they began to intentionally bang upon and stroke objects with the goal of producing sounds. A bunch of human people made up this thing called music based upon the combination of sounds and they began making special objects specifically designed to produce this music.

A group of young prophets, far older than they let on, forced together by boredom and the evil one were tuned into the sacred frequencies of the Gerbil King by periodic beatings, noxious bus fumes, and a sadistic physical education program. The church of Gerbil is the result. See similar questions...

Buma was set up at the end of 1913 on the initiative of the composer Jan van Gilse. To the present day, Buma has protected the copyright and other material and immaterial interests of music authors. Buma is the sole organisation in the Netherlands that handles the permissions and remunerations for playing music in public. The advent of the gramophone record meant that replication of work started to play a role. That was why Buma set up the Stichting Stemra (Stemra foundation) in 1936. See similar questions...

Kettlebells first appeared in Russia over 100 years ago. Originally kettlebells were used in fairs and markets to balance scales when weighing heavy objects. The Russian military began using them within their training regime because they demand an overhaul of all of the body's energy systems simultaneously. See similar questions...

This is not known. It is believed that an archway on the north side of the church is a remnant of a Saxon building, perhaps a Saxon minster church. We are seeking expert opinion on the dating of this feature. We will never know for certain, of course, whether our king was connected in any way with the church. See similar questions...

A Certificate of Existence (often referred to as "Certificate of Good Standing") is a document that verifies that a corporate entity is registered in its "home state." This document is obtained from the state in which the corporation is based. It is often required by banks and landlords to verify the legal existence of the entity, and by a state in which the entity is filing as a "foreign entity." See similar questions...

The following are some of the verses which are the basis for believing the existence of the Bible codes: a) "And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel." Exodus 34:27 b) "And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished. See similar questions...

This is a very complicated question. There is no known answer. The historical Arthur is shrouded in the mists of the Dark Ages. The best description of what we know and do not know about Arthur is to be found in the introduction to: What is certain is that Arthur was NOT a medieval King. The modern images of knights in plate armour and a grand castle called Camelot are not historical at all. See similar questions...
