Do you want to learn more about the great rulers of history, but don’t have time to listen to huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of the life and times of some of the most famous and infamous (and some forgotten) men and women that have ruled as Kings, Queens, and Conquerors.

Tintagel, Cornwall, England on a wild and windy day is a spectacular place to be, however, for anyone with an interest in King Arthur, Tintagel is far more than a dramatic landscape. Search the history books and you’ll struggle to find any reference made to England’s best loved King, yet make your way to this craggy outcrop, where the sound of the sea is simply mesmerizing, and you’ll find yourself closer to the legend of King Arthur than in any other place on earth.

There are those who consider Tintagel to be the site of King Arthur’s court at Camelot, but for most, Tintagel is generally recognized as the place where Arthur was born. As you begin to uncover the story of Arthur’s entrance into the world, you will quickly understand why he’s absent from the “factual” records of history.

Whatever your interest in King Arthur, historical or romantic, there is something here to suit every taste, and as the story unfolds before you, the intoxicating mix of mythology and fact will prove utterly irresistible.
