Abstract
Most authors of Arthurian historical (in a strict sense) fiction acknowledge modern historical authorities. Examining thirty-one such fictional works across 120 years reveals these authorities’ influences on authors’ treatments of the battle of Badon Hill, Arthurian expeditions to Gaul, and Arthur’s romanitas, which impact his character and story.
