There are some myths or legends about Britain, as well as history

Do the British have myths? If there is, it should be the product of a cross between Norse mythology and Roman mythology.

Before the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain, the land now called Britain was inhabited by Celts, so the Celtic myth can be regarded as the earliest known myth in Britain. There are three famous stories in Celtic mythology: 1) the struggle between the Danu gods and the giants of the deep (Tuatha dé Danann against Fomorii), 2) the legend of Cuchulainn and other ulster heroes, and 3) the legend of the heroes of Finn and Fiona (Fionn Mac Cumbhaill and Fianna).

Absolutely not: you can look at Churchill's The Birth of Britain

Anglo-Saxon Chronicles This book is also a small piece of early history, which I bought to accompany the History of the English Peoples

But it is also applicable to the first 20%-40% of the content of the first volume of "The Birth of Britain", although it is a classic, but it is not long.

King Arthur itself is a legend, just like the Yellow Emperor of China, and the most important historical material in Britain is the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", which is available in an electronic version on the Internet, see it yourself. In return, we translated the earliest British history books, and the British translated the Chronicles into English.

Yes, King Arthur is also a historical legend outside Rome in Western Europe.

Thinking of this question, the legend about King Arthur and his warriors immediately comes to mind. They are central to the history of British culture.

However, there is an older but less well-known but rather delightful English legend that tells the story of Bladud, a former Roman prince who was the father of King Leir and immortalized in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of King Lear.

According to legend, King Luther's son Bladud was tormented by a mysterious ** disease (ostensibly leprosy) while studying in Athens. Upon his return to the UK, he was immediately locked up to prevent contagion. At that time, it was common to exile lepers into isolated lives.

Bladud was eventually released and exiled. In some versions of this story, he escapes, but whichever version you prefer, he comes into the world as a "swineherd".

Many of his pigs seem to suffer from the same disease as him, probably in search of relief, and they sometimes wander around and then come back covered in black mud.

To Bladud's surprise, he found that the pigs wallowing in "mud, mud, mud" were miraculously sick. Remember, this is not in Scandinavia, the Low Countries or Flanders, where there are a lot of swamps and swamps, but in the UK. Bladud was most likely located in what is now Somerset, which in pre-Roman times was undulating, densely forested, and with few swamps or mud pits.

Brad decides that the next time the pigs get lost, he'll follow them. They disappear into an alder forest that often grows in wetlands, riverbeds and swampy areas. The ancient Britons believed alder to be sacred and endowed with a variety of magical and medicinal properties.

When he noticed a strange-smelling black mud, he decided to try it himself. He climbed in, and when he found it warm and comfortable in the mud, he dozed off. When he woke up, his leprosy (if it was true) was magically gone.

Broad returns triumphantly and returns to his father's fireside to become his rightful heir again. In gratitude for his **, he told the others about the magical mud and built a place that resembled a shrine nearby.

Later in life, he was associated with all kinds of witchcraft, witchcraft, and witchcraft. According to legend. He even tried to fly, but hit a brick wall - really!

More than 600 years after the discovery of the ** spring in Bladud, the Romans rediscovered the place and, in the Roman style, built a complex bathing facility there.

They call it sulis water. The more pragmatic Britons simply called it Bath.

My favourite is the Celtic mythology, a mythological system unique to the British Isles. This mythical place is a magical place inhabited by gods, spirits and fairies, as well as ugly and terrifying giants and monsters, and is a paradise for souls before they are reincarnated.

Gulliver's Travels is actually an irony of British society at the time. Even the later "Paradise Lost" and then the later "Three Steps to the Lord of the Rings" (I thought that the prototype of the dark forces in the Lord of the Rings was actually the Mongols who Europeans talked about at that time), all carried the imprint of this tradition.

As for the origin of the legend of the Headless Horseman, it is said that he was a brave knight during his lifetime, and due to his unfortunate death on the battlefield, his head was cut off by the enemy, so whenever the dark wind is high, he will ride a horse that is also an undead in the Sleeping Valley, looking for his lost head; Whenever he saw someone who looked similar to him before his death, he would cut off his head and bring it back.

Prometheus steals the fire. Prometheus, the protector of humanity, is very sympathetic to humanity and is determined to help humanity get rid of these sufferings. When the Apollo solar chariot passed through the sky, he stole the fire and gave it to humans.

Pictured above are nine of London's leading figures. What's your favorite British myth or legend? Good question.

Just like everyone else, I would ignore King Arthur and so on. The Nine Sages of London is a work by English romantic writer Richard Johnson, written in 1592. The book borrows themes from the Nine Sages of Antiquity, with subtitles explaining the glory of the soldiers, the virtues of the brave, and the unforgettable attempts at generosity; It is a gentleman's pleasure, not unseemly for the local **, and the most profitable for the prentises, celebrating the rise of nine famous Londoners in society, who rose from the ranks of apprentices or ordinary citizens.

Nine: Sir William Woolworths, who killed Walter Taylor, the leader of the peasant revolt of 1381. Sir William was originally a fishmonger and later served as Lord Mayor of London twice (1374 and 1380). Here are nine of London's luminaries.
