I came across an article, “Researchers Find Hidden Secrets in Rare Old Arthurian Legend.” Apparently, we’ve got some more twists to the fan fiction that is Arthurian legend. If you don’t know why I’m calling it fan fiction . . . .

There’s no right answer, as often legends are essentially fan fiction spanning generations. […]
