Quote:Just found this page today antoninuspius.blogspot.com/2006/10/would-real-king-arthur.htmlThat's a very good review of both movie and article. What the writer did not know was that Linda Malcor was one of the two main advisors of the movie - her speculative theories were the main backbone of the the movie's claim to being 'historical'.
That Castus was a Dux and led an army was her main connnection (besides the name of course) to linking him with King Arthur, who was said to be a 'Dux Bellorum', a title not connected to the Roman military. Malcor then speculated that Castor's army consisted of the Sarmatians from Britain. She has so far maintained that all these Sarmatians remained in Britain and remained unassimilated until Late Roman times....
