Medieval Expert Shocked By Accuracy Of King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

Medieval historian Dr Hetta Howes (author of Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife) reacts to Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, separating Hollywood fantasy from medieval sources. We explore the facts behind the fiction, from the opening battle's elephants to that David Beckham cameo.

We dive into the film's biggest changes: Arthur's brothel upbringing, the conflation of Excalibur with the Sword in the Stone, and the "weird snake sirens" that replace the Lady of the Lake. Dr Hetta Howes explains the real medieval stories of Uther Pendragon, Vortigern, Igraine, and the true origins of the Round Table.
