The Dark Ages: King Arthur & Others

Some people say King Arthur never existed. Grobius Shortling disagrees and has set up a web site on the subject. [ view ]

For more about the Tribes of Dark Age Europe, there is a new web page, Saxons and Siegfried, which takes the 'other side'. The original meatheads. [ view ]

Castles, Stone Circles, and Other Ancient Places

The British Castle web site. This is actually a serious attempt to be informative about this fascinating subject (as well as other ancient buildings and places). [ view ]

Marshmount Castle, Guichardo's Folly, and Upchuck Lodge. All you need to know about this famous, if fictional, castle and its fate through the ages. [ view ]

Some ~ NOTES ~ on the Geography, Peoples, & HISTORY (Natural and Humane) of the Strange & Wonderful ISLAND of FARNISH, compiled by Porpentinus Cripplewort. An island in the Irish Sea. [ view ]

ALMONDSEY -- Another island. Is this fact or fiction? (Extract from the History) [ view ]

ESTALIA -- A country nobody knows about. You won't find it on any atlas. [ view ]

The preceding entries are our published research theses. You are welcome to join or contribute to a department. We no longer accept full-time boarding students, however, as the insurance costs were too high. All you need to do now to obtain a diploma or citation from the G&F Academy of Arts and Imbecility is to contribute something to this Web Site. What you get for this is totally and arbitrarily up to the Academicians, who are a fickle bunch. If you don't know how to e-mail us, why don't you click on the Inquiries hot spot at the top of the page, dummy?
