In this video I delve into the idea of the King under the Mountain, also known as the King in the Mountain or the Sleeping Hero. Are these great men dead, or are they in a state of sleep until they’re needed again? Looking at heroes such as Owain Glyndŵr, King Arthur, Frederick Barbarossa, Fionn mac Cumhaill, among others. And, what effect does this have on us today? How should we interpret the Ling under the Mountain?

The Jolly Reiver is my project aiming to preserve and promote the forgotten folklore and history of rural Britain. Primarily focusing on folklore and legends, you’ll not find me trying to deconstruct these old stories or trying to rationalise them with science and psychology. Instead I will present them as they were always told by our forebears, and leave the conclusions up to you.
