Welcome to the brand new Arthurian Preservation Project website!

English

"The English think of Arthur as their own. His name has been borne by their princes down the ages — all too often an ill-omened cradle-gift. It is written across the map from Edinburgh to Tintagel, Caerleon to Camboglanna, and in a dozen places where the Hope of the British lies sleeping until the hour of national need — but on no authentic gravestone anywhere."

— The Arthur of the English - The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Life and Literature edited by W. R. J. Barron
