Now, in the year 2015, he's back?

Apparently there's an amateur historian named Adam Ardrey who has written books arguing that King Arthur was a sixth-century Scottish warlord, rather than being from (what's now) England or Wales as he's commonly portrayed.

I have no expertise on this matter or ability to evaluate the likelihood of his historical claims.

However, I do know that àrd-rìgh is Scottish Gaelic for 'high king'. And of course the name Adam just means 'man'.

So, if I were an ancient Scottish king, recently reawakened from a 1500-year sleep on (for example) the mystical isle of Avalon, and wanted to correct the distorted modern remembrance of my legacy without prematurely revealing my identity, I'd think "Adam Ardrey" a very natural choice of pseudonym to use.

Just saying.

I feel like I should have a Highlander joke right about now.
