This video explores how the legend of King Arthur grew from scattered medieval references into a powerful political story used by kings, conquerors, and empire builders. Drawing on early chronicles, Welsh and Breton traditions, Geoffrey of Monmouth, and later medieval writers, it looks at how Arthur was reshaped over centuries to legitimize rulers, justify claims to land, and provide a heroic past for emerging kingdoms in Britain and beyond.
Moving through the early Middle Ages into the high medieval period, the video traces how Arthurian stories became part of royal propaganda, dynastic myth, and national identity. It examines the role of figures like Henry II and Edward I, the impact of the Norman Conquest, and the use of chivalric ideals in courtly culture, showing how a possibly historical war leader was transformed into a legendary king at the center of British history and medieval political imagination.
