In view of recent discussions on the above topics, does anyone
have any views or information on local historical and religious
traditions, such as the 'Holy Kingdom' of Arthur in South Wales,
publicised in a recent book of that name.
This seems to involve lots of
local feelings, traditions of Celtic and Roman Christianity, suppression
and disputed interpretation of historical evidence, rivalry and jealousy
between different regions of Wales, varieties of nationalism and
disputes with and between establishment academics and organisations, and
of course a chip on the shoulder attitude towards the English. The
researchers, Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett have written several books
detailing local Arthurian associations and geneologies.
