The whole notion of Arthur is probably a dream, same goes for Robin Hood.

Maybe but.... there is the Y Gododdin stanza 99.

He fed black ravens on the rampart of a fortress
Though he was no Arthur
Among the powerful ones in battle
In the front rank, Gwawrddur was a palisade

The evidence found and used by Goodrich in empirical. You would love it.

Arthur may be a dream today, but he was very real 900 years ago or so.

Their Christainisty has been suppressed by the Roman Catholic Church, along with their history. They were Holy Grail Christians.

I encourage you to read these books. They are well researched and footnoted as well. Real academic works.

My prof used this book in my Art History class. I'm very surprised to see it seems to still be in print. Look at the beautiful images in this book and you won't think of this time as "Dark" again.

Francis Pryor examines the history of Britain near the end of the Roman occupation. The first instalment focuses on Britain under Roman rule, revealing a much greater degree of collaboration with the natives than was previously recognised.

Sheep-farming archaeologist, Francis Pryor, presents a historical series which explores Britain A.D, the British national character and the ultimate British icon King Arthur.

Finding new and previously unexplained evidence, Francis Pryor overturns the idea that Britain reverted to a state of anarchy and disorder after the Romans left in 410 AD. Instead of doom and gloom Francis discovers a continuous culture that assimilated influences from as far a field as the Middle East and Constantinople. Through scrutinising the myth of King Arthur to find out what was really going on when the Romans left, Francis is confronted by evidence that confounds traditional views of the 'Dark Ages'. There was also no invasion of bloodthirsty Anglo Saxons, rampaging across the countryside. With new archaeological evidence Francis discovers a far more interesting story.
