Myths of King Arthur: Origins, Creepy Sex & Magic Swords

King Arthur. Merlin. The Knights of the Round Table and the Sword in the Stone. We think we know these stories but they've changed a lot since they were first told... In this episode, Maddy and Anthony are joined by History Hit's very own Dr. Eleanor Janega, host of the Gone Medieval podcast, to tell us about the rather creepy origins of the Arthurian legend.


Edited by Tom Delargy, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
