The words "the man, the myth, the legend" can easily apply to King Arthur.

Today we're looking past the round table, the sword in the stone, and his magician mate Merlin to explore what his love life can tell us about this man.

Did his love Guinevere really do the dirty on him with his mate Lancelot? What does his own love life say about him as a man?

Today, dear friend of the show Eleanor Janega, host of sister podcast Gone Medieval and author of The Once And Future Sex, is joining Kate to separate the man from the myth and legend.

This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
