[QUOTE="Joe, post: 325122, member: 9"] It's a fun research project. Actually, I thought all this time that King Arthur was a Real person & an Historical King who united and ruled England. Or that he was based on the real King Alfred the Great? But it would appear None of the Above. So all this arguing about him or Knights f the Round Table is all for nothing. And what people say/argue about him or the Knights of the Round table is based upon Historical perceptions of fictional characters. But at least from an Historical literary context there was a dark skinned Knight named Mourien taken from the word 'Moor'. So he must have been based on some real life Knight or character who lived between the 6th and 13th century AD.. The only thing that is certain - a dark skinned Knight during the Middle Ages would not have been of East Indian racial origin. He probably would have been Black or some brown North African skin color. [/QUOTE]
