We are delighted to welcome celebrated historian, Prof Ronald Hutton back to The Barn for a fascinating lecture on the Historical King Arthur.The existence of an historical Arthur has been one of the great battlegrounds of historical debate ever since the Victorian period. This talk will review the evidence and also the changing interpretations and public images of it over the past half century in particular. It asks why, for example, most academic historians and archaeologists were inclined to believe in Arthur's historical reality around 1970, but generally refused to do so around 1990. It also weighs up the actual evidence for it.
This talk can also be viewed online as it will be live-streamed via zoom. To book an online ticket please visit: https://www.ticketsource.com/winterbourne-medieval-barn-trust/t-plqjjpr
