407 AD - Britain is now in chaos, abandoned by a Western Empire unstable and besieged by hordes of barbarians threatening its borders. Exasperated, the people cries out for leadership after the death of Magnus Maximus, the last great to rise against the Theodosian dynasty. The troops elevate several soldiers to the purple, causing them to fall shortly thereafter. Only one of them, Constantine III, will succeed in uniting all Britons under himself, involving them in his project of total reform of an empire now dying and destined to disappear. From the misty, dark seas of the North, Constantine will land across the Channel, shaking up the empire in an attempt to make Britain the epicenter of a new world, founded on the ashes of Rome.

Who was King Arthur? How did the story originate? Through careful research of the many primary documents, a picture of the true Arthur can in fact be set down. He reached power shortly after the Romans evacuated Britain at the end of the fifth century and died at the Battle of Camlann. He became king at 15 under the name of Ambrosius Aurelianus and fought against the Saxons on the mainland as Riothamus, thus explaining the regeneration motif so closely tied to the mythical Arthur. This study reveals that the integrity and ideals central to Arthurian myth were very much a part of the real Arthur.
