King Arthur's 'wedding site' sale  - BBC News 04/11/08
 
The view from Castle Hill, where legend places King Arthur's marriage
An historic hill claimed as the place where King Arthur married his queen is for sale.

Part of Castle Hill at Knucklas, near Knighton in Powys, is being sold under action later in November.

According to legend, Guinevere, daughter of the Welsh giant Gorgyrfan Gawr, became betrothed to Arthur on hill's grassy slopes.

It was also the site of a Norman castle built in the 13th Century, before being destroyed by Owain Glyndwr's forces.

The castle was built by the Norman knight Roger Mortimer to help keep the Welsh population in check, but it was later overrun.

There are only traces of the castle left on the hill now.

The land is being sold in two lots on 27 November.

Estate agent Jenny Layton from McCartneys in Knighton said it was a "rare opportunity to purchase a site of historical importance".

Legends and myths about Arthur have seen him cast as a king who held court in Wales, a Scottish politician and a Cornish warrior.

It is generally believed however that the there was an actual historical figure, probably a Romano-British warrior leader from Wales, who battled to keep the Saxons out of Britain.

Early Welsh texts do not refer to him as a king, but as an emperor or war leader.

Glad you like them - I'll keep them coming.
