Every statement is labelled History (what historians and archaeologists say), Literature (what a medieval or Victorian book says) or Tradition (later local stories), and checked against named sources (including Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, the Historia Brittonum, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Museum Wales, English Heritage, Historic England, Cadw, Glastonbury Abbey, the University of Reading, the British Library and Britannica; checked 30 Oct 2026). The sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. The legends are retold in our own words; the pictures are public domain or CC0 paintings, drawings, prints and photos via Wikimedia Commons.
