abstract
  • Castus as the inspiration for the figure of Arthur in medieval European literature was first suggested by Kemp Malone in 1924 and has recently been championed by authors C. Scott Littleton and Linda Malcor (who was a research consultant for the 2004 movie King Arthur (2004) (film) and on whose hypotheses regarding Artorius the screenplay was based). Although Artorius was centuries earlier than the Saxon invasions of Britain in the 5th century, it is possible, albeit remotely (given the differences between Artorius' career and that traditionally assigned to King Arthur), that he was remembered in local tales and legends that grew in the retelling. As it stands today, there is no direct evidence linking Castus to the "real" King Arthur.
