A time of a clash between Roman and British Christianity, re-written by Roman Christian Saxon scholars to suit their needs, and the re-written again by Roman Christian Norman Scholars to suit their needs...

But roll it back to the original era, and British Christianity is deeply at odds with Roman Christianity over things like original sin and free will..

Rome sent Bishops and Generals to Britain to eradicate this Christian view, a view that extends into Ireland and Scotland, which is where the British Christians where exiled to by Rome..

(for further evidence of that see Paladius, first Bishop of Ireland, otherwise known as the first St Patrick, was sent to Ireland to keep an eye of the exiles)

Votigern the much berated British King, berated by clerics who supported Rome, was a British Christian leader, and the British leader who requested Saxon support.

The Saxon, Picts, Scotti and British where all already working together at this point again Rome (see the Great Conspiracy for further evidence)

The British that fled to Brittany from Britain at this point where mainly Roman Christians.. which is why the sense of bitterness of so deep.. and why contrary to popular beleive the Saxons did not wipe out the British.

A good example, is the leader purported to be leader of the Saxons that fought Aruthur is Aelle of Sussex.. Sussex being the last Pagan Kingdom to fall to Roman Christianity,

But there is almost NO evidence of Saxon paganism in Sussex, the earliest Saxon burials where in the manner of Christians (body position and orientation see the large Saxon burials ground at Highdown, and Alfriston for evidence)

What is evidenced is the ongoing battle between Roman and British Christianity, it was Rome failing to completely eradicate British Christianity from these Isles after Augustine that supported the Norman invasion of England and again Rome that supported the Norman invasion of Ireland.

We consistently see that conflict continue down the ages, each time British Christianity gets a renamed, Pelagian, Celtic, Lollard, Puritan, Anglican etc

Which side of that fence Arthur really sits is beyond me, after all it was Vortigern who consulted Merlin.. and the Saxons do have many (more than anywhere else) non glosses of the Vulgate.. and it has always intrigued me what those non glosses say, and if we had access to them, perhaps we might understand British Christianity better.

I do find the grail aspect interesting, as at the time (5th century) a Bishop from Gaul was researching the path Lazarus and the others took, and from his research the account he wrote was that they ended up in Britain which was the scary edge of the Empire.

(the notion that Britain was a scary place can be seen in the Roman invasions of that age, with whole Roman armies nearly deserting rather than cross the water into the Isles of Monsters)

Perhaps it was his writing that set that whole ball in motion that the Grail was in Britain? a copy of that book like the others still exists in the British library, but yet again another we know about, like the non glosses of the Vulgate, but that is also not shared.

the Saga of King Arthur is a battle not just of empires, but also a theological battle that is still evident to this day.
