Anciently it was called either Cambodunum or Camulodunum - both are recorded in early sources. Recent digs and excavations have upheld this historical fact.”He added: “Tintagel residents are more than a match for fake Roman news promoters from Cirencester.”It's not the first time King Arthur has been uprooted from Cornwall, Traditionally, Arthur is said to have led the British when they defeated an invading Saxon army at the legendary Battle of Badon sometime between 490AD and 520AD.But his story evolved into a magical fantasy tale through the History of the Kings of Britain by 12th century writer Geoffrey of Monmouth.Many scholars believe there may just actually have been a leader called Arthur (or Artorious in Latin) who existed.The first and most famous reference to Arthur comes in the 9th century Historia Brittonum, which has been attributed in parts to Welsh monk Nennius.In his retelling of Celtic Briton's history, he names Arthur as a military commander and not a king.Arthur was actually chosen by native kings to be the leader in 12 battles against the Saxons, which are outlined by Nennius, ending in the Battle of Badon.In the fighting at Badon, Arthur reportedly "killed 960 men" in one charge, according to the Historia Brittonum.The 10th-century Annales Cambriae, chronicles composed at St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire, Wales, also names Arthur as the leader at Badon.A stone discovered in 1998 at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, where he was conceived in medieval tradition, contained the inscription "Artognou" which some have linked to Arthur.There are other fascinating potential references to an Arthur.In the famous Welsh poem Y Gododdin, written sometime between the seventh and 11th century, his name pops up again.This was a tribute poem to warriors from the Brittonic Welsh kingdom of Gododdin who died fighting the northern Angle kingdoms of Deira and Bernica in the early seventh century.It says one of the fallen comrades was 'no Arthur'.Another Arthur reference pops up in an elegy for Geraint, a king of the southwest Celtic kingdom Dummonia, who died in 710AD.A war leader Riothamus, linked to Britain or Brittany, who fought the Goths around 470AD, was considered a likely contender for the real-life Arthur because he was last recorded as being near the French town of "Avallon".Another contender to be Arthur, who has puzzled historians almost as much as the medieval warrior, is the mysterious Cerdic.He founded a kingdom, which became Wessex and later England, around roughly the same 5th/6th century period.While described as a Germanic invader, many historians suggest Cerdic, based on his name being derived from a Brittonic one 'Ceretic' and because his ancestry appears invented, was actually a native leader who staged a takeover with Saxon mercenaries.Excalibur is Arthur's magical sword - and it's from Excalibur that Arthur finds the power to finally defeat evil and assume his rightful position.The origins of the mythical blade are thought to be Welsh.It’s first mention by Geoffrey of Monmouth is as “Caliburnus”, taken from the old Welsh “Caledfwich”, a magical sword that appeared in numerous Celtic myths. 54 views
