Backed by 40 years of research, this work provides a perspective on a crucial period in British history and the historical King Arthur. It argues that there were in fact two kings, both named Arthur, whose careers were rolled into one to become the single Arthur of myth and legend.

Incorrect categorisation
The Holy Kingdom is not a book which can be categorised as "Mind & Body, Spirituality and Religion"! It is a study of British History. It concentrates on the historical records of Britain and the Royal genealogies. It involves a tracing of ancient sites which are listed in the ancient histories, and exhibits the name of Arthur I, son of Magnus, and Arthur II, son of Meurig, his direct male line descendant 6 generations later as they appear in numbers of British manuscripts.

This work is not "politically correct" as it identifies the sites as they are specified in the ancient manuscripts and not as they are imagined by daydreamers.
From the Back Cover
In this explosive book the authors, using ancient historical records, show that Britain was never fully conquered by the Romans but retained its culture, its royal families intermarrying with the Caesars. With the coming of Joseph of Arimathea in AD 37, its kings become converts to Christianity and the island the secret home of many of Jesus's followers.
Two of those kings were named Arthur - one, Arthur I of Warwickshire, the fourth-century son of the emperor Magnus Maximus, the other his sixth-century descendant and a king of Glamorgan - their careers rolled into one and elaborated upon by medieval poets, they became the single King Arthur of myth and legend.
As a result of research going back over forty years, the authors are able to reveal the location of the graves of both Arthurs, the location of Camelot, the burial place of the 'true cross of Christ' and uncover a secret historical current that links our times with the mysteries of Arthur and the Holy Grail. In doing so, they challenge many orthodox beliefs perpetuated by a Church which long ago lost touch with its roots.

I first read this book out of interest, then i read it again as the information sank in, the authors fill in the background history as well as investigate the truth of King Arthur, there are some very startling conclusions...

Despite the smears and censors, Wilson and Blackett have always provided detailed evidence to support their claims. They have rediscovered the truth about ancient British history - the truth which was deliberately subverted by the English establishment...
Bear in mind that Edward Llwyd, an historian of note based at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, concluded that it was indeed Arthur 1 who defeated the French at Sassy/Soissons. This is the same king Anhun, Anthun, no doubt about it. Polydore Virgil, King Henry V111's historian, was right when he noted that the mythical "Arthur" figure in our histories would had to have been 250 years old to have done what was claimed. The truth, as Wilson and Blackett show, is simple. There were two Arthurs! The genealogies of the ancient Kings proves this!
Our ancient Khumric-Welsh manuscripts are not in doubt and archaelogical digs undertaken by Wilson, Blackett, Dr. Eric Talbot and Alan Wishart (MA) of Glasgow University in 1990 are detailed in The Holy Kingdom and prove, beyond any doubt, that St.Peters Super Montem is, perhaps, the most important early Christian site in Europe.
No wonder the Catholic church is concerned, because it emerges, in Wilson and Blackett's book and through their 25 years of research, that Christianity arrived here in AD 37, "the last year of Tiberius", and that the ancient Welsh manuscripts, whose provenance is not in doubt, show this. The dig at St. Peters indicated that it dated to the 1st Century AD. So Rome is the daughter, not the mother, church. (And I was bought up in the high Anglo-Catholic church and have no problem with it from a religious point of view!)The irony is that Cardinal Baronius, chief historian of the Roman Catholic church, stated that Christianity arrived in Britain in AD35. Nennius concurs, he claimed AD37!
The academics are running scared from Wilson and Blackett and that's why so many people are afraid of their remarkable conclusions. Your history, my history, British history, was painted over by those in favour of a different, Orwellian nightmare version of English history with the Angles and Saxons in prime position.
Luckily, we have brave men like Alan and Baram to defend the ancient kings.
I encourage anybody reading this to buy their book and support their work.
Tim Matthews, Ancient British Historical Association.

Brilliant - A first-rate read.
Cuts through the garbage that is the "official" British History of pre-Saxon times. Has the unmistakeable ring of truth. A must-read.

An example of the worst kind of spurious historical fiction.
This book presents theories as facts and then builds upon them, creating a structure that will hopefully sink into a swamp and remain gone forever. Read more
