     THE AGE OF ARTHUR

     King Arthur Enthusiasts, as well as medieval and history

     aficionados, are sure to enjoy British Heritage's March 1998

     issue, which focuses on the legendary ruler.

     "The Age of Arthur" will explore the rise of a military leader

     whose exploits became the basis for the larger-than life King of

     the Britons, and also on the times in which he lived. The issue

     will feature a wide range of articles covering the age that began

     with the withdrawal of the Roman troops from Britain, witnessed

     the advent of the Anglo-Saxons, and culminated in the spread of

     Christianity by the early saints who established Britain's first

     monastic foundations. It will also include the key stories and

     sites upon which the Arthur legends are anchored--Tintagel

     Castle, the Court at Camelot, and Glastonbury Abbey, believed by

     many to be the mysterious Avalon. Authors include noted Arthurian

     expert, Geoffrey Ashe.

     Other special articles include a search for the real King Arthur,

     reviews of the Arthurian classics written by Geoffrey of Monmouth

     and Chretien de Troyes to name a few. You'll also want to visit

     our web site to see our on-line story, "On the Trail of Arthur,"
