This is a book about Arthur, the greatest and perhaps the only truly British hero. Alistair Moffat builds up a fascinating thesis which enables him to reveal for the first time the location and identity of the real Arthur. Mixing obvious and rather more obscure evidence, Moffat argues that the historical Arthur was not a king but a calvary general, chosen around 500AD to lead a coalition army by the Welsh or Celtic kingdoms of southern Scotland. In a long campaign, fought mostly in Scotland, he beat back the Anglo-Saxon invaders and established peace and stability for 50 years.

The key to Moffat's thesis lies in place-names and their derivation. The reason that historians have failed to show convincingly that Arthur existed is that they have all been looking in the wrong place. Moffat's research reveals that Arthur was a Prince of a southern Scottish Welsh-speaking tribe known as the Votadini by the Romans and as the Gododdin by themselves. In the final chapters the author leads us to Arthur's headquarters - his Camelot - now truly a lost city where not one stone remains standing upon another.
