Arthur's Battles#

From the Eleven Kings’ Rebellion to the fateful clash at Camlann, Arthur’s wars defined his reign. Chronicles and romances alike recount victories at Badon Hill, campaigns across Gaul, and battles against both mortal foes and mythical giants.

Arthur’s wars were not only fought in the open field. Sieges of castles and river crossings reveal the strategy and endurance of his armies.
