    King Arthur should definitely be up there, though. Didn't the very movie make the claim it was telling the true story or something?

    Yes, I do recall something about that in the Intro.

    It says how most historians agree that King Arthur was a Samartian cavalryman in the Roman Army, and he was left behind in Britain with his troop, or knights. I don't recall it saying it was the flat out truth.

    I don't believe most historians are solid on whether or not he existed, much less that he came from the other end of Europe.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
