King Arthur
A fascinating period in European history: The crumbling of the
Roman Empire and the End of Civilization as They Knew It
Those Who Fought against theFalling of the Dark
Grobius Shortling's List of King Arthur Books and Other Related Subjects.
This was an incredible age of transition. The Roman Empire had established a tradition of
civilized life, much like our own (but without "technology"): rule of law, bureaucracy, massive
public works, heavy taxation, mass entertainment media, and other things considered
civilized. Huns and Franks, Vandals and Turks, Goths and Saxons, Irish and Picts and Scots, attacking from all sides Without, and general corruption, degeneracy, and civil
war from Within -- these brought it all crashing down and led to chaos and barbarism
for 500 years or so. There were a few heroic defenders in Britain who kept up the old ideals in
staving off anarchy (well, maybe just did their best to maintain the vested establishment).
The Christian monks ended up as the final saviors, and not through any great virtue other
than steadfastness and stubborn ignorance of the reality of earthly life, which they denied --
and thereby prevailed. This page is devoted to the secular heroes, who knew the
difference between orderly life on Earth and the dubious prospectus of the heavenly kingdom.
(There were also the tradesmen, who lasted in the long run and actually ended up running
the whole show in modern times, but that's rather boring.)
[Portentous music is required here, but those damn WAV files just take up
too much time and space.]
Durovernum (Canterbury): An artist's rendering of the town, with its prominent amphitheatre,
in Roman times and after the Saxon invasion. (© Canterbury Roman Museum -- my photo, so
forgive the flash reflections). This scenario is rather drastic, considering that St. Augustine was
to appear there not much later and establish the C of E. One has to assume that 'town' life
disappeared for a generation or so, but that people laid low and hung on throughout the bad times and eventually moved back. The stout Roman walls were still intact, and there was plenty of building
material among the rubble. London survived the fall of the empire in a similar way and even preserved
a middle class in the sense of merchants trading with Gaul during the worst of times -- even the
barbarians liked foreign wine and gewgaws for their women.

The original Grobius Shortling King Arthur web page was very
large and cumbersome. This is an attempt to make the site more navigable. Please
