Am I the only person in the WHOLE WORLD who sees the Mabinogion as a reflection of the House of Comnenus and Tartary?

King Arthur? Betrayals? Beheadings? Horses? Celts/Scythians? A Kievan Rus’ from Georgia whom I named Aleksander? The ancient Brythonic Language? The destruction of Welsh Culture and Language? The fact that 12th century Welsh soldiers/mercenaries wore Phrygian Caps? The links with Scandinavia? Magnus Barelegs shooting an arrow into a Norman Earl’s right eye? And on and on and on

Shrug!
