A story of King Arthur with a twist based on years of research. He was never a king and Arthur was a title not a name.
It is the dawn of the sixth century in the troubled, misty isle of the Britons. The tribes wage constant war with each other. Christianity is dividing the Britons from their Old Religion.
Saxons and Angles, old enemies from across the eastern sea, plan to invade the island. No single tribe is powerful enough to stop them. The Britons face complete annihilation. A great leader is needed, one who can unite the tribes against the Saxons.
BADON, THE NAME OF THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN, IS
THE STORY BEHIND THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR.
THE MAN WAS NEVER KING!
THE MAN WHOSE NAME WAS NOT ARTHUR!
Excerpt
BADON is the gritty tale of love, romance, loyalty, betrayal and war behind the legend of Arthur. Based on the theories of numerous historians BADON explains how "Arthur" was never a name but a title conferred on courageous warriors of the northern Celtic tribes. This is the story of a Celtic chieftain, who against all odds, unified an army of rival tribes and stood against the invading hordes of Saxons, Frisians, Jutes and Angles in the 6th century. This is not the romantic French version, but a historical-based tale of clashing cultures, rival religions, political power, gamesmanship, intrigue and the dying aspirations of an entire race.
