King Lud – Mysterious Founder Of London And His Connection To The Tuatha De Danann
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Legendary British King Lud is shrouded in a veil of mystery. Did he ever exist? Was he the real founder of London or a Celtic God? What was his connection to the Tuatha De Danann, a mythical race of god-like beings with supernatural abilities?
Historians, mythologists, and folklorists have long tried to unravel the truth about King Lud. Some claim King Lud never existed, while others maintain he was indeed a real historical figure.
Some say King Lud was based on the story of the Welsh mythological figure Lludd Llaw Eraint, a King of the Tuatha De Danann. Still, his life story is a blend of truth and fiction, making it challenging to learn more about this fascinating personality.
King Lud appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's legendary History of the Kings of Britain, written around 1136. Geoffrey of Monmouth's chronicles describe the lives of British kings over 2,000 years.
