Media Illiteracy, Exemplum N

The Telly article with the title "Historians locate King Arthur's Round Table" has obviously been written by a total historical illiterate.

It does make some references via a genuine historian to Gildas' De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, which really is a source for the period (but which does not, contrary to the impression left in the article, mention Arthur, although it does mention Aurelanius Ambrosius and the battle of Mount Badon).

It certainly does not reflect the fact that the entire Round Table element is not only not in the historical sources but was made up out of whole cloth by romance writers centuries after the historical period.
