"This book explores Arthur's depiction as a wilderness figure, the descendant of the
northern Romano-British hunter/warrior god. The earliest Arthur was a warrior but
in the 11th century Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen, he is less a warrior and more a
leader of a band of rogue heroes. Three Arthurian tales link Arthur to medieval Robin
Hood tales"
