In his class, Gerry will tell the real heroic story of Arthur, with none of the romantic chivalric nonsense that has been added to obscure the real story. There’s no lovey-dovey affairs of Guinevere, there’s no ‘carpet’ knights sitting around some round table (or chasing after windmills), there’s no absurd search for the holy grail, and there’s no mystical wizards. Unfortunately, all of this ‘added’ romantic nonsense has been used to distort the real importance of King Arthur in freeing Britain from the Roman Empire. Speaker bio: Gerald Therrien is a historian and author of a four volume series on Canadian History titled “Canadian History Unveiled” and has lectured on topics ranging from poetry, ancient Athenian culture, the renaissance and the Haitian Revolution. Gerry’s books and history dossier can be found here. Subscribe to his Substack here. Click below to access the live zoom lecture on Sunday Oct. 22 at 2pm eastern time:...
