		Most avid enthusiasts of this great King Arthur are anything but neutral about his origins, and just about every one of those enthusiasts--if they believe in a historical King Arthur with an authentic ancestry--has developed a theory about his roots, just as everyone who debunks his historicity builds a case of scepticism.
		Any attempt to anchor King Arthur's historic origins in the fifth century is blocked by ponderous minutiae--the complex jumble of languages, the surviving recensions of a perplexing millennium, the confusion of epithets versus proper names, and the unfortunate interpolations tainting so many documents.
		The name ARTHUR is not mentioned by either Gildas Badonicus of the sixth century or Bede of the eighth century.
