Arthur ruled as hereditary prince of the Silures and elective king of the Britons during the darkest days of Saxon invasion. He led his people through twelve great battles, each victory buying precious time for British resistance. His legend grew to encompass not just military prowess but the ideal of British sovereignty, making him the symbol of resistance against foreign conquest.
