king of arthurs

Kralj Matjaž (king Matthew), a mythical figure that sleeps under Peca mountain on the present Austrian-Slovenian border and who is sometimes equated with Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, but is more likely based on the leader of a peasant rebellion in Carinthia in the late 1470s.

Denmark and many other countries have got the same legend. I don't think it was vased on a real person.

and if you actualy read Beowulf you'd know he was a Geat, aka Swedish.

>>73715615
My point is that Beuwulf isn't one of our great national works.
It was a character and story written by and meant to be read by Saxons.
Even fucking Pippi Långstrump would be a better example.

>>73712427
Aeneas maybe? don't know really

>>73715912
Pippi isn't real though. King Arthur is theorised to be based partly in real history. It's also possible that a real life Beowulf existed. And who's to say that the story didn't originate in Sweden before being written down by Saxons?
