  • R.I.P. Geoffrey Ashe, 98, in January (British expert on King Arthur leg

    From Lenona@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 3 06:46:06 2022
    He was made a Member of the British Empire in 2012.

    "Ashe was a great supporter of the theory that King Arthur was based on the historical figure Riothamus and he argues this point in his books 'The Discovery of King Arthur' (1985) and 'The Landscape of King Arthur' (1987)."
