'''Tintagel Castle''' ({{gbmapping|SX051889}}) is a [[castle]] found on [[Tintagel Head]], located near [[Tintagel]] in [[Cornwall]], [[England]], [[United Kingdom|UK]]. The site was originally a [[Roman]] settlement, though the remains of the castle that stand today date from the 13th century. The castle is traditionally linked to the legend of [[King Arthur]] and as such it is currently a popular tourist site run by [[English Heritage]].

==History==
'''John Legend''' (born '''John Stephens''' on [[December 28]], [[1978]] in [[Springfield, Ohio]]) is a five-time [[Grammy Award]] winning [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] [[singer]], [[songwriter]], and [[pianist]]. His debut studio album, the platinum selling ''[[Get Lifted]]'', was released in late [[2004]]. It features collaborations with [[rapper]] and [[record producer|producer]] [[Kanye West]] as well as rapper [[Snoop Dogg]] and the singles "Used To Love U" (US top 100, UK top 30) and "Ordinary People" (US and UK top 30). He also collaborated with [[Slum Village]] on the song "Selfish" (US top 100), also featuring Kanye West. Legend also played the piano on [[Lauryn Hill|Lauryn Hill's]] "Everything is Everything" and sang background vocals on [[Jay-Z]]'s "Encore," [[Alicia Keys|Alicia Keys']] "You Don't Know My Name," and [[Fort Minor]]'s "High Road."
He has a brother, [[Vaughn Anthony]], who is also a singer.
 
===Roman settlement===
==Biography==
Cornwall was relatively untouched during the [[Roman occupation of Britain]], however coins and pottery fragments found at the site indicate that the site was oppucpied in the third or fourth century. Two Roman milestones nearby indicate that a road lead to the settlement.
When Legend was 4, he started playing [[gospel]] and classical piano that his grandmother had taught him. And at the age of 5 or 6, he sang with the church choir. Legend attended [[North High School (Springfield, Ohio)|Springfield North High School]], graduating as Salutatorian at 16. He was also prom king and president of the student council.
 
===Dark Age settlement===
He attended the [[University of Pennsylvania]]. There, he directed [[Penn Counterparts|Counterparts]], a coed ''[[a cappella]]'' group. At Penn, Legend majored in [[English studies|English]], with an emphasis on [[African American literature]] and culture.
After the Romans left Britain, [[Celtic]] people's did build a fortress on the site. It is often speculated that it was a summer residence for the rulers of [[Dumnonia]]. The [[Ravenna Cosmography]], of around [[700]], makes reference to Purocoronavis, (almost certainly a corruption of Durocornovium), 'a fort or walled settlement of the [[Cornovii|Cornovii]], (unidentified, but possibly referring to Tintagel Castle or [[Carn Brea]] castle). Later legends claimed that this was the site where the Cornish kings held court at this time.
 
===Medieval period===
Oddly enough, his first job after graduating from Penn was not in the music business -- Legend began working for the [[Boston Consulting Group]] in Boston and then [[New York City]]. Before becoming a mainstream artist, Legend often hit the nightclub circuit in New York City, [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]], and [[Washington, D.C.]] performing as an independent artist and distributing live LPs such as ''Live at SOB's''.
A castle was built on the site by [[Reginald, Earl of Cornwall]] in [[1233]], to build on the Arthurian legends that were associated with the area and because it was seen as the traditional place for Cornish kings. The castle was build in a more old fashioned style for the time to make it appear more ancient. Reginald hoped that in this way he could help to gain the Cornish people's trust, who were suspicious of outsiders. The castle itself held no real strategic value.
 
===Victorian era===
It was John Legend's roommate and former classmate at Penn, Devon Harris, now professionally known as [[Devo Springsteen]], who introduced Legend to his cousin and then up-and-coming hip hop artist [[Kanye West]]. Since that meeting, Legend and West have worked closely together. Legend is also signed to West's label, [[G.O.O.D. Music]]. Legend sang many of the melodic hooks on West’s demo, which would eventually become the [[Grammy Award]] winning ''[[The College Dropout]]''; and West provided rhythm tracks for Legend’s demo, which would evolve into ''[[Get Lifted]]''. Recently, Legend contributed to fellow G.O.O.D artist [[Common (rapper)|Common]]'s LP, ''[[Be (album)|Be]]'', and also provided vocals for the track "High Road" on the album ''[[The Rising Tied]]'' by [[Fort Minor]] ([[Mike Shinoda]])..
During the Victorian era, there was a fascination with the Arthurian legends, and the ruins of the castle became a tourist destination. The modern day village of Tintagel was known as Trevena until the [[1850s]], when it was renamed to promote tourism on the back of the King Arthur and Camelot legends. Strictly speaking, Tintagel is only the name of the headland.
 
==Arthurian legend==
Legend performed during the pregame show of [[Super Bowl XL]] in Detroit.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1521221/20060119/kelly_r.jhtml?headlines=true For The Record: Quick News On R. Kelly, Jamie Foxx, Green Day, Hilary Duff, Diddy, Tommy Lee & More] - MTV News</ref> He also performed during the halftime show at the [[2006 NBA All-Star Game]],<ref>[http://www.nba.com/allstar2006/Legend_Underwood_060215.html John Legend and Carrie Underwood Set for All-Star Halftime Show] - NBA</ref> and he performed "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch at the 2006 Major League Baseball All Star Game in Pittsburgh, PA.<ref>[http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20060629&content_id=1529530&vkey=pr_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb Musical performers announced for Major League Baseball All-Star Week] - Major League Baseball</ref>
It was claimed by [[Geoffrey of Monmouth]] in the [[12th century]] that the castle at Tintagel Head was where King [[Uther Pendragon]] seduced Queen [[Igraine]] of Cornwall, while her husband, [[Gorlois]], was under siege elsewhere. [[King Arthur]] was thus conceived and later writers made the castle his birthplace.
also he preformed at the Grammy Awards.
 
==Archaelogical Discoveries==
He is also featured in the [[Black Eyed Peas]] song "[[Like That]]". The song "[[Ordinary People (song)|Ordinary People]]" was originally meant to be for a Black Eyed Peas project, but Legend decided to keep it for himself and recorded the song after he had been signed to Columbia Records.
A [[Dark Ages]] [[Celt|Celtic]] fortress did exist there. The first excavations, which were undertaken by [[Ralegh Radford]] in the [[1930s]], have come under modern criticism, partly because the site documentation was slight, by modern standards Radford led a considerable interpretative shift when he suggested that Tintagel was in fact a Celtic monastery and not an "Arthurian" site. In the mid-[[1980s]] a fire on Tintagel headland led to considerable erosion of the topsoil, and many more building foundations than were recorded by Radford could be seen.<ref>[http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/1/hati.htm "Early Medieval Tintagel: An Interview with Archaeologists Rachel Harry and Kevin Brady"]</ref> In [[1998]] the mis-called "[[Arthur stone]]" was discovered there that raised hopes for some basis for the legend.<ref>But see [http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/1/hati.htm "Early Medieval Tintagel: An Interview with Archaeologists Rachel Harry and Kevin Brady"].</ref> The present-day ruins of the castle are situated on a rocky headland that overlooks the Cornish coast. Tintagel Castle is one of the landholdings of the [[Duchy of Cornwall]]/[[Prince Charles]] who refuse to reveal the date or circumstances under which the castle was transferred to the care of English Heritage. It has proved not possible to obtain this information. as there is a Parliamentary injunction <ref>[http://cornishstannaryparliament.co.uk/resources/article.php?story=20061026005146214 Letter from the House of Commons Library to Andrew George MP, dated 16th July 1997]</ref> preventing MP’s from raising questions about, or even attempting to discuss, Duchy related matters. On 16th July 1997 the Liberal Democrat [[Andrew George]] MP attempted to raise a Duchy-related question but he was prevented by an injunction that disallows MPs raising any questions in Parliament that are in any way related to the Duchy.
 
==Recent Controversy==
Legend also appears on the soundtrack to the film ''[[The Second Chance]]'', starring [[contemporary Christian music]] superstar [[Michael W. Smith]], with the song "Refuge". Other appearances on the soundtrack include multiple songs by Smith himself.
In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the [[English Heritage]] organisation. Members of a pressure group, the [[Revived Cornish Stannary Parliament#Operation_Chough|Revived Cornish Stannary Parliament]], removed several signs bearing the English Heritage name.<ref>[http://www.cornishstannaryparliament.co.uk/heritage-signs.html Cornish Stannary Parliament tackles English cultural aggression in Cornwall.]</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1768853.stm BBC News: Historic signs case trio bound over]</ref>
 
==Notes==
The first single from his sophomore album, '''[[Once Again (John Legend album)|Once Again]]''', is "[[Save Room]]". The album was released [[October 24]][[2006]] and boasts production from Kanye West, [[Raphael Saadiq]], and [[will.i.am]].

In an interview with MTV.com, Legend said the new album would contain his favorite song that he has written to date, entitled "Again." He said he actually came up with the idea for the song and wrote some of it while sitting on a subway. He stated that the song was also the inspiration for the album's title.
