	Historical basis for King Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rather than being sent home upon the completion of their twenty year term of service, these men were settled in a unique military colony in modern-day Lancashire, where their descendants were still documented as a "troop of Sarmatian veterans" in 428.
		The film's Arthur is a descendant of Artorius and inherits his role of guarding Hadrian's Wall along with a troop of Sarmatian warriors.
		It is unknown whether Riothamus was a king in Britain, in Ireland or of Armorica; as Armorica was a British colony and Jordanes wrote that Riothamus "crossed the ocean", it is possible both are correct.

	King Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origin of the name Arthur is itself a matter of debate and is very much connected to the debates concerning his historicity.
		Yet "Artorius" in its later forms when pronounced in Celtic languages could have yielded "Arthur" as well as "Arturus", both of which forms do occur in the medieval literature.
		Griffen and others believe that Arthur might not be derived from a Latin original such as Artorius, as proponents of the above theories suspect, but could have been a nom de guerre used by or an epithet bestowed upon the leader who fought against the Saxons.

	Clive Owen - Historical Links (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Lucius Artorius Castus, commander of a detachment of Sarmatian conscripts stationed in Britain, led his troops to Gaul to quell a rebellion.
		This is the first appearance of the name, Artorius, in history and some believe that this Roman military man is the original, or basis, for the Arthurian legend.
		The theory says that Castus' exploits in Gaul, at the head of a contingent of mounted troops, are the basis for later, similar traditions about "King Arthur," and, further, that the name "Artorius" became a title, or honorific, which was ascribed to a famous warrior in the fifth century.

	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Film Review 07 13 04
		It is possibly this half-Roman, half-British soldier Artorius (or a man very much like him) who first germinated the very idea of carving a free and civilized England from the continental chaos of Dark Ages Europe.
		As a young boy, Artorius pulls the sword Excalibur not from its magical prison of stone, but from the soil atop his father's fresh grave.
		There is a surprising resonance to the quandaries Artorius faces; he is a man caught between his God and his war, a believer who sees his Christian compatriots torture pagans, a democrat fighting for the ideal behind the current corruption.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Pendragon
		In this addition to the King Arthur canon, General Artorius has been sent by King Aurelian to the North of Britain, where the savage attacks by the Saxons, Picts and Angles are ravaging the land and people.
		Artorius is not certain if he should kill her or help her, but they find themselves working together to unite the people of Britain under one flag...
		There is a scene where Gwendaello, who used her family ties and the fact she has the Pendragon stone around her neck to ascend to the throne of Pendragon, while, ironically, Arthur himself has the true Pendragon stone, and has every right to claim the place for himself.

	King Arthur
		Artorius is noble and selfless, and while an upright and righteous hero has its charms, this man becomes utterly tedious later in the movie when his need to martyr himself forces his men to commit the same sacrifices that he castigates the Roman Empire for demanding and turns him into a self-centered hypocrite.
		I have no idea why they introduce Guinevere into this movie as the Pict warrior lady whom Artorius rescues from overzealous Christian inquisitors but she has zero chemistry with Artorius and their "romance" is as sizzling as a broken-down heater in the coldest day of winter.
		Artorius keeps hammering into everyone's head that we are all born free and equal, but nowhere in this movie am I told why a warrior of his time would come to believe in such a radical philosophy.

	The Heroic Age: Lucius Artorius Castus
		Although most scholars claim that the name "Arthur" is unattested in Britain prior to the late-sixth century, there was one notable exception: Lucius Artorius Castus, who lived and fought in Britain in the late second-century.
		In 185 Lucius Artorius Castus was promoted to the rank of dux, a position that very few equestrians held prior to the time of Diocletian.
		While the biography of Lucius Artorius Castus cannot account for every detail in the Arthurian legends, the parallels between Castus and Arthur are striking not only in their number but also in the variety of levels on which they occur.

	The Heroic Age: Lucius Artorius Castus, N/B
		This observation is based on the perceived age of the texts rather than the actual ages of the manuscripts.
		Artorius and Arthur can be equated etymologically (Malone 1925:373).
		For example, the battle on the Tribruit, is independently attested as belonging to Arthur (Jackson 1945:57), and the Annales Cambria associate Badon with Arthur (Brengle 1964:7).

		It is interesting that the names "Arthur" and "Artorius," the Roman gens from which "Arthur" derives, were both extremely rare before the twelfth century.
		Artorius was posted in the late second century, making him an unlikely prototype for the historical Arthur, but he may have left namesake descendants in northern Britain.

		A Bendigo winner at his race debut last month, Artorius has since finished fourth to The Rhine at Caulfield on August 6 and sixth to Red Dazzler in the Listed Vain Stakes.
		Theodore said Artorius was such a quick a horse he would not be out of his depth with a light weight against open class gallopers.

	INTERVIEW WITH JOHN HEATH-STUBBS
		Since Heath-Stubbs was blind by the time he wrote this poem, or sequence of poems as he suggests it might be considered, his memory was of vital importance in the creative process.
		As for Artorius, while it is a long poem, it is also, in a certain sense, a sequence, and the sequence is the characteristic twentieth-century poetic form as at least one critic has pointed out.
		For Artorius I had a particular schema in my mind's eye all the time that I was writing, and I realized, about half way through, that it was a mandala, to use Jung's term.

		He was dead by 415, long after the time of Lucius Artorius Castus and long before Arthur, whoever he was, if he was, could have lived and "done his stuff" (which would have been between 450 and 525), whatever that was (if it was).
		The Artorius in the movie is the descendant of the one who lived in the 170s (he is mentioned as being a hereditary military leader, the 12th in line).
		After the battle, Artorius retreated towards the French city of Avallon, after which nothing of him has been heard, although a group of men seemed to keep fighting in his name in Britain for a couple of decades.

	The Heroic Age: Lucius Artorius Castus
		There is precisely one military action known to have been lead by a dux in the late second century, and that is a military expedition to Armorica in 185, which is documented by Herodian (10.1-7; Whittaker 1969:61-67).
		Given the known date for the Armorica campaign and the fact that the Artorii were of the equestrian class, it becomes possible to reconstruct the life of this obscure individual in rather surprising detail.
		Several Artorii grave stelae appear in Dalmatia and neighboring regions, and the name "Lucius Artorius" is attested during Diocletian's reign (Mommsen 1973:no. 14195.27; "Lucius Artorius Pius Maximus"), which suggests that his line continued for a while after his death.

	Pendragon Fiction™: Pendragon, by W. Bernard Faraday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Long gone are the troops Rome had assigned to protect the island, withdrawn to fight the Empire's final, futile battles against the barbarians on its own doorstep.
		Yet there remain a stalwart few, such as the efficient and brutal general Artorius, who struggle to keep Rome's glorious military legacy alive in Britain.
		This clever and courageous young woman refuses to compromise her followers' freedom for the benefit of Artorius' Pax Britannica, and in doing so reminds him that a tradition even more precious than the leavings of Rome waits to be claimed by the true herid of the "Island of the Mighty."

		I love the fact that Artorius bothered to understand his enemies, and in doing so, he saved so many lives.
		Its probable that the historical basis for "King Arthur" came from the the dux Lucius Artorius Castus in Britain and from Ambrosius Aurelianus during the Saxon invasions.
		A composite character invented by the Caledonians (who Lucius Artorius would have been fighting) combined with local Celtic legends and then topped off with a Early Middle Ages hero like Ambrosius probably served to create the legendary King Arthur.

		He's not convinced that we can ever know, although he suggests that if we want an historical prototype, L Artorius Castus is a possibility (though he urges caution: there may be other Artorii whom we don't yet know about who fit the pre-Galfridian stories even better).
		He asserts that the name as we have it must derive from Latin Artorius, objecting that the Brittonic Artowiros would have developed into Arthwr in Middle Welsh.
		I'd have liked to see some statistics here, as my impression of the early genealogies is that the Latin-derived names are rare, except for characters whose historicity is in question.
