New archaeological discovery and textual analysis of original sources leads the two authors to disinter the true King Arthur. The dates of the two known historical events in his life are established in the Dark Ages rather than the Middle Ages. A picture of Britain in the late 5th century emerges as a land reverted to tribal strife after Roman evacuation, beset by foreign invasions from the Picts, Irish and Anglo-Saxons. Arthur is discovered to have come from a tribe resettled in northern central Wales, and to have led a nationalist Christian pact of British tribes against the pagan invaders. "Arthur" is revealed to be merely a title, and climatically his true name is revealed - Owen Ddantgwyn - together with his burial place, a mound called The Berth, north-west of Shrewsbury.

For fifteen hundred King Arthur has remained a mystery. For the first time, King Arthur - The True Story discovers the historical King Arthur, his Camelot and his final resting place. The authors uncover vital evidence for Arthur's historical existence. Centuries of myth are peeled away to reveal the truth behind the romance, and the Grail and Excalibur legends. The search for Arthur's Camelot leads to ancient ruins in the heart of Britain - an incredible Dark Age city recently unearthed by archaelolgy. A medieval manuscript in Oxford's Bodleian Library finally identifies King Arthur's burial site: the real Avalon.
Graham Phillips and Martin Keatman are also the authors of The Shakespeare Conspiracy.
