Arthurian legend
Geoffrey of Monmouth makes Caerleon
one of the most important cities in Britain in his
Historia Regum Britanniæ.
He gives it a long glorious history
from its founding
by
King Belinus then making it the location of a metroplitan see,
an Archbishopric superior to Canterbury and York
under Saint Dubricius.
He was followed by St David
who moved the archbishopric to St David's Cathedral.
This builds up to its use by Geoffrey as a Court
for King Arthur.
Caerleon is one of the sites most often
connected with King Arthur's capital later called
Camelot.
There was no Camelot mentioned in the early
Arthurian traditions recorded
by Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace, and Layamon.
These early Arthurian authors say that
Arthur's capital was in Caerleon,
and even the later recaster of Arthurian material,
Sir Thomas Malory, has
Arthur re-crowned at "Carlion".
It has been suggested that
the still-visible Roman amphitheatre at Caerleon is
the source of the 'Round-Table' element of the tales,
and was used for discussion and entertainment.
(The "Camelot" reference originates with the French
writer of courtly romance, Chrétien de Troyes.)
[[[[[[[[[ 'the edittor notes : :::::
i.e.
it'd b[be] implied here that
"""Camelot"" may b the French [mis]spelled 'corruption' o'[of ]
"""Caerleon""
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Geoffrey of Monmouth writes of Caerleon
in the mid 12th century:
"For it was located in a delightful spot in Glamorgan, on the River Usk,(Historia Regum Britanniae "History of the Kings of Britain")
not far from the Severn Sea. Abounding in wealth
more than other cities, it was suited for such a ceremony. For the noble river I
have named flows along it on one side, upon which the kings and princes who
would be coming from overseas could be carried by ship. But on the other side,
protected by meadow and woods, it was remarkable for royal palaces, so that it
imitated Rome in the golden roofs of its buildings... Famous for so many
pleasant features, Caerleon was made ready for the announced feast."
This is only a short part of a description
which emphasises the power and wealth of Arthur's court a description
transferred later to Camelot.
The huge scale of the ruins
along with Caerleon's importance as a urban centre in early mediæval
Gwent would have inspired stories which Geoffrey expanded on.
Caerleon also has later Arthurian literary associations,
as the birthplace of the writer Arthur Machen
who often used it as a location in his work.
Alfred Lord Tennyson also wrote his Idylls of the King
overlooking the Usk in a bay window
of what is now the saloon bar of the Hanbury Arms public house.
In Michael Morurgo's novel Arthur, High King of Britain,
Caerleon is the castle
where Arthur unknowingly commits incest
with his half-sister Margause,
resulting in the conception of his bastard son Mordred,
who will later bring about his downfall.
Caerleon in 1800

IS THIS THE TIME OF BRITAIN'S DARKEST HOUR?
15 July 2004
| Summary |
King Arthur and his knights have awoken
to bring tourists
to his land
as
the latest Jerry Bruckheimer
in London today
(15 July 2004) and hits cinemas across the UK from 30th July.
King Arthur [[[[[[[[['the-Movie]]]]]]]]]
is being heralded as the most realistic
version of the historical facts behind the myth.
To tie in with its global release,
VisitBritain - the authority for tourism in Britain -
[[[[[[[[[
VisitBritain 's the UK gov official authorrity 4[for] tourism in UK
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
has joined forces with Touchstone Pictures
and Buena Vista International
and published a
King Arthur Movie Map
King Arthur Movie Map
to help position Britain as the definitive destination
for British and international visitors interested in the ancient legend
This summer, audiences will discover
the roots of one of Britain's most enduring legends
with the release of King Arthur, starring an all-star British cast including Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ray Winstone and Wales' Ioan Gruffudd. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and screenwriter David Franzoni (Gladiator) bring a spectacular, epic tale of chivalry, bravery, and one man's destiny to the big screen. Thrilling adventure, edge-of-your-seat action and historical grandeur come together in this contemporary and fresh look at the origins of a legendary hero. The film sets the record straight historically, by taking us back to the 5th century - the Roman Britain of the Dark Ages. Stripped of the elaborate magic and romance of the medieval stories, King Arthur presents a new but authentic image of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.
The UK's leading Arthurian expert John Matthews
- who
has spent more than 30 years studying the Arthurian legend and
was the consultant historian on the film
- believes the stories are based on a real historical figure
who was a Roman commander on Hadrian's Wall
in Cumbria
in the 5th Century.
He said:
``In my opinion
the film comes closer to historical truth than any yet made.
It will be a reminder for many people that
the legend of King Arthur will always have its roots here in Britain.
The film will capture audiences' imagination and
inspire them
to visit Britain and discover more about
the reality behind
the man,
the myth and
the legend.'';
The unique guide features key destinations and attractions synonymous with Arthurian legend from the Dark to Medieval Ages, as well as Roman Britain's historical sites and locations. 25 Arthurian and Roman locations on the map include Tintagel Castle, Merlin's Grave and Hadrian's Wall, along which much of the film's action and story is played out.
Stirling's King's Knot and Caerleon on Usk in Gwent
also feature, in addition to Roman locations such as Eboracum (York) and Londinium (London). On the reverse of the map, VisitBritain has identified locations that appear in more than 50 new movies, classic film favourites and TV shows from the 60s to the present day.
[[.....]]
The England version of the King Arthur map for British consumers is available by calling 0845 456 2003 or visiting the website,
http://www.visitengland.com/. Printed in five languages for international visitors, a map featuring locations throughout the whole of Britain is available by contacting VisitBritain's international call centres or online at
www.visitbritain.com/moviemap. Both versions of the map will be available at the Britain and London Visitor Centre, 1 Regent Street, London.
The King Arthur Movie Map is the latest project that VisitBritain - the authority for tourism in Britain - has in development with international film distribution companies. It is the seventh in VisitBritain's hugely successful movie-map series, which also includes `Master and Commander', `Johnny English - Mission to Britain' and `Harry Potter - Discover the Magic of Britain' as well as those based on Bollywood films and Hollywood blockbusters and `Brit-flicks'.
