rthur has been attributed to many areas and to many races. It seems that his reputation is such that people would like to be associated with him, or at least what he stood for. During the early stages after the evacuation of the Romans, the Saxons took the opportunity to step into their place. This could only be done by subjugating the indigenous Celts by brutal means. They were pushed north and west into Cornwall and Wales. Removed form their homelands, their situation became dire. The gains and cultural advancement made during Roman occupation dissipated in hunger and barbaric treatment. The Celtic people fought for their lives but were fighting a losing battle. This existence would have destroyed them if this new strong leader had not come along when he did.
rthur was said to have been killed in the Battle of Camlan in 537. Again the location of this battle is not known. It is interesting to note that the word Kambria or ( Cambria ) was used almost exclusively to mean Wales in the 12th century. Possibly, Camlan was in Wales? To avoid going round in circles through lack of evidence and to avoid repeating myself. In the section entitled "The Saxons", I have included further information on this subject with possible contenders.
