Could any one tell me the meaning of "to whom i answered".?

Question

the original passage as follows:To whom I answered that divers men hold opinion that there was no such Arthur,and that all such books as been made of him be feigned and fables......

Answer 1

It refers to the person I gave an answer to. The passage follows a question by the person to whom an answer was provided.

Answer 2

It means you're addressing the person you answered. For example if you answered Fred (I don't know ;p)..."To whom" is a replacement for "to Fred". Hard to explain really.

Answer 3

Ummmm i think it means who i answered sorry i can't be much help! 3:

Answer 4

Some grammarians would consider that sentence, long as it is, a fragment, for the very reason that you find it confusing.  "Whom" evidently refers to a noun in the previous sentence, naming the person who made the statement that the writer answered.
