Believers in the survival of Sebastian, King of Portugal, after the battle of Alcazarquiver, 1578. Such believers have been found down to the present century. The like belief has prevailed about Harold of England, and many others. The epitaph of Arthur says, "Hic jacet Arthurus, Rex quondam rexque futurus."
