The Sword in the Stone & The Trollhattan School Attack

58 minutes

The story of King Arthur is one that uses scraps of history and folklore to create a legend that has been retold for ages. As with many retellings, the line between fact and fiction can be blurred. This week, we sit down to discuss the history behind several famous Arthurian tales and try to answer the question "was King Arthur a real person?" Lacie then delivers a true crime story with a sword wielding monster that changed the lives of a small Sweden town forever.
