About
This book is about the ancient and early medieval history of Guernsey and the other Channel Islands, set in the wider context of north-west Europe. The Channel Islands were of religious significance to the surrounding areas of north-west France (Armorica) in ancient times, and were also important links in the trade route for tin and other metals of British origin. These links continued through Roman times, as evidenced by the wrecks of Roman era ships at St Peter Port. In the Dark Ages, Guernsey became the place of exile of an English King Guorthigern, better known as Vortigern, and may have been visited by Arthur. The Islands found themselves a short sea-voyage from the possible location of the Grail Castle.
The book analyses the pre-Anglo-Saxon Germanic influence in the English language, to show that much of the population of England was descended from immigrant tribes of the Belgae. Indeed, Arthur may well have been one of these people.
