King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior according to Roger Loomis, whose special research into the background of the Arthurian legend has revealed findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial. Loomis sees the vegetarian goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights as the gods of sun and storm. And Guinevere is the leading lady in a nature myth while her son Mordred plays the part of the Irish god Mider. Arthur himself is another form of the Maimed King, embodiment of the enfeebled forces of Nature awaiting spring. If Loomis' arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur? Was Arthur a god from the beginning? It's probable that Arthur began as an historical figure, grew in stature in Welsh, Dumnonian and Breton myth and completed his ultimate persona by reigning supreme in European romance. Celtic Myth And Arthurian Romance is engaging reading and an important, original, and insightful contribution to Arthurian studies.
