Life is everyday we enjoy, everyday we cherish and everything that is related to that. History is we consider our past life. Life that we do on that time.. Life that we encountered and etc..
There are historians who writes and tell us the histories of the past. Every country has it to tell us what is happened in the past.
Though it is not my concern of what happened in the past. But I was very intrigue when I watched it here on my laptop.
I just want to confirmed the gender of King Arthur Pendragon.. is he a male or a female? I know when I was young.. King Arthur is male which is also displayed in some movies related to King Arthur.. But when I watched this thing, I was shock that King Arthur is a woman...
What is your comment about this especially on the members here that are living in Britain.
Thanks..

King Arthur, whose father, according to legend, was Uther Pendragon, was definitely male. I don't know what alternative story you have been watching but it certainly didn't stick to the story!
King Arthur is a legendary king of England (in fact, at the time he was supposed to have lived, there were many kingdoms in Britain so, if anything, he would have been king of Wessex). His queen was named Guinevere.
There may or may not have been a historical person named Arthur. If so, it is most likely that he was, in fact, a fairly minor Romano-British tribal chief.
You should read the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur which shows how the stories evolved and how they are mostly (if not completely) based on much older legends and myths.
