To me, methought, who waited with a crowd,
There came a bark that, blowing forward, bore
King Arthur, like a modern gentleman
Of stateliest port; and all the people cried,
"Arthur is come again: he cannot die."

"Morte d'Arthur" (1842)
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

New from the History Channel

Thanks to the International Arthurian Society, North American Branch for the heads up on this. It premieres on Friday, 24 June 2022, 9 PM EST.


The Search for King Arthur
The UnXplained: Season 3, Episode 19

King Arthur, England's first pop culture superhero; his exploits inspired blockbuster movies and television series like Middle Earth, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Star Wars; the significant impact the Arthurian legend has had on Western culture.

The show's main page is at https://www.history.com/shows/the-unxplained. According to the site,, episodes stream the day after their tv launch, but I'm not positive that is correct. (Also, Amazon lists the current season as "Season 4"; I'm unclear which is correct.)
