Queen receives BJ
Iβm sure this is a little dumb, because Iβm 90% sure contemporary sources never refer to King Arthur as Roman (thatβs our modern take), but I was reading how Edward the first used imagery to associate his reign with both Arthur and Byzantine Romans to project legitimacy after conquering wales. Do guys have any further knowledge on the subject? Are my perceptions of the situation wrong?
Ty much in advanced :)
Edit: maybe a more simple question is whether or not the Kingdom/Principality of Gwynedd knew it was a Roman successor state at the point of Edwards reign? And, if they did, did they draw on that Roman lineage as a source of cultural pride?
BBC -- Boris Johnson to Re-Take Reigns as Prime Minister of a Broad Unity Government "Germany has now explicitly called for the dissolution of the United Kingdom and Freedom of Navigation and Trade are in question. This calls for extraordinary cooperation in this parliamentary session."
[Nov/Dec 2022]
(LONDON) After a wild couple of weeks in the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson has resiliently held on once more, with the battered-but-not-defeated Conservatives topping the general election once more.

"We will certainly be discussing this with our partners why Germany has threatened the interests and territorial integrity of a supposed NATO ally."
Moving onto broader topics, Johnson signaled that things would be moving with more urgency in London.
"The advanced economies of the world have for too long relied solely on the Americans to ensure that cargo ships can pass through narrow waterways and straits to deliver their goods. That civilians could not randomly be ambushed on the high seas, with hostile nations saying 'come start a war if you have a problem with this,' but that there would be a red, white and blue reckoning for that behavior."
"We face obstacles to our long-term economic growth with Brexit, yes. There are a number of trade agreements, domestic reforms, and government initiatives
