King Arthur Pendragon (fl. 5th–6th centuries) was a Briton leader who led the defence of his people against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. He was also a member of the organization that would evolve into and come to be known as the Templar Order.
Biography
According to legend, Arthur possessed a sacred sword called Excalibur which he pulled from a stone as a young man that proved he was the Britons one true high king.[1] Arthur used Excalibur to rally his people as their newly crowned high king of Britain to fight in defense of their lands against the invading Anglo-Saxons. However; he was later betrayed by those he loved years later, which ultimately led to his death at the end of the battle of Camlan.[2]
Legacy
Alan Rikkin was of the opinion that Arthur's view of the Templars' role was idealistic and misguided, seeing his failure as proof that the Order was meant to follow a different path in the 21st century.[2]
Later, there was a wine named after Arthur, which was called Merlin & Arthur Imperial Stout. In 2015, Shaun Hastings tasted this wine and then wrote a tasting note.[3]
In 2012, Clay Kaczmarek included Walter Crane's illustration of Arthur pulling out the sword in the stone in a set of puzzles he had hidden within the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year,[4] uncovering Clay's message suggesting that the sword of Arthur was in fact a Sword of Eden.[1]
