Usborne History of Britain - King Arthur


Usborne History of Britain - King ArthurOnline version Usborne History of Britain - King Arthur by Vijo Gor 1 What do most historians today believe about King Arthur? a He was a Roman emperor who returned from Gaul to crown himself king of Britain after defeating the last legions b He was a noble from northern France who conquered England centuries before the Norman invasion ever happened c He ruled all of Britain in the 400s and built a mighty fortress at Camelot that served as the capital of a united kingdom d There was probably no single real King Arthur, but the legend may be based on memories of a leader who fought the Anglo-Saxons 2 Why did early Welsh writers first mention Arthur in their stories? a To show that the Britons had resisted bravely against the invading Angles and Saxons even if they were eventually defeated b To persuade neighboring tribes to submit peacefully to new Saxon rulers and abandon their traditions c To glorify the Roman Empire by describing how its soldiers helped the Britons fight off the invaders d To entertain local farmers with long tales about kings, dragons, and distant lands beyond the sea 3 How did the legend of Arthur grow over time? a The original Arthurian story was erased from all manuscripts and later reinvented by French poets without any connection to Britain b Later writers added knights like Lancelot and Gawain, the magician Merlin, and the Quest for the Holy Grail to create rich medieval tales c It was secretly preserved only in church archives and never spread through art, poetry, or popular storytelling in medieval Europe d The legend remained exactly the same for a thousand years without any new characters, settings, or moral lessons being added 4 Why did the Tudor kings claim descent from King Arthur? a To strengthen their weak claim to the English throne by connecting themselves to a heroic, unifying British figure b To convince rival European monarchs that England had once ruled the entire continent through Arthur’s empire c To justify new taxes by claiming that King Arthur had also funded his knights with heavy contributions from his people d To prove to the Catholic Church that their power came directly from God through a divine royal bloodline 5 The Tudor kings were descended from the Normans — Germanic Vikings who had settled in France before conquering England in the High Middle Ages. Why does this mean they could not truly descend from King Arthur? a Because Arthur—if he existed—was a Celtic Briton who fought against such invaders during the Early Middle Ages, while the Tudors actually descended from the invaders themselves b Because Arthur’s court at Camelot rejected the use of foreign soldiers, and the Norman rulers relied heavily on hired mercenaries c Because Arthur’s original kingdom was located far north in Scotland, while the Tudor family had its roots deep in the Welsh valleys d Because the Normans spoke French and Latin, while Arthur’s people supposedly spoke an early form of English influenced by the Saxons 6 How has the legend of Arthur continued to influence British identity? a The story of Arthur survived only among a few French scholars and was never again popular in England after 1500 b Arthur’s name and ideals of unity, courage, and justice are still linked to the modern royal family and British national myths c Arthur’s memory was erased from British culture after historians proved that he was a complete invention of the Middle Ages d The Arthurian tradition faded away entirely when Shakespeare and his contemporaries refused to mention it in their plays 7 What does the long timeline of Arthurian stories—from Gildas to modern musicals—show about myths in history? a That legends can change over centuries to reflect the values and needs of each new era b That historical accuracy is more important than cultural meaning when legends are retold in art or literature c That old myths quickly vanish if they are not supported by official royal historians and government institutions d That once a myth is written down, it never changes and always preserves its original meaning
