The origins of King Arthur are shrouded in mystery and magic. But one myth suggests that Arthur's father, Uther Pendragon, disguised himself as the Duke of Cornwall's husband, to seduce his wife Igraine, with whom he was smitten.

Baby King Arthur was born, and given to the wizard, Merlin, as Merlin had facilitated Uther's wicked disguise. But where did this all take place?

Historian Christopher Snyder goes to a possible location that may be King Arthur’s birth place, discovering something very exciting.
