    • Yeah, that sounds right. "Clarissima" is a likely name of the time but 'Clarissima Femina' is about as likely as "Biggus Dickus" of Monty Python fame. It could have been a description or even some kind of title (less likely, but it could have meant daughter or wife to the local noble/chieftain).

  • Norma Goodrich makes the persuasive argument that Camelot means "Caer Mallot" or fort of the hammer. She maintains that Camelot was wherever King Arthur was. He was "The Hammer". As a fighting king, his court moved with him. So, there is no fort or castle that was Camelot.

    • The people whom today we call "Welsh" are mostly descendants of Celtic tribes who migrated southwards from Scotland into areas of Cornwall, the midlands and "Wales" abandoned by those who emigrated to Brittany, Northwestern Spain, and Ireland. Quite a lot of the "Irish" raiding was done by them, out of territories they held a long the eastern coast of Ireland. When serious efforts to seize sword land emerged, the evidence is clear that it was Goidelic Chiefs and Kings leading mixed forces combining Goidels/Gaels and these Brythonic tribesmen. There is strong evidence these Britons settled amongst previously established communities of Gauls in Ireland, e.g. Belgae and Menapii, who had been given refuge when fleeing Roman genocide. The Menapii included in their ranks Venetii, Nervii, Rhemii, Parisian, Aedui whom they were connected to through mercantile activity, marriage, language, and alliances. Remains of their ports are seen today in Ireland. The Cymry who found refuge in Ireland shared an emerging P Celtic dialect with them, there are relics of it in personal and place names in Ireland, and material artifacts. They were keen on being vindicated against Rome and Romanized Britons, hence their role in the raids. The ancient ethnohistory of the isles of Erin and Alba are much more complex and nuanced than typically we are taught in school.

    • A large contingent amongst the raiders were Gauls and Britons who had settled in Connacht, in the Partridge mountains and Hy-Maine. Genetic, archaeological, linguistic, and written evidence support this, as well. And they helped Ireland, together with the Albany Dal Roads, resist subversion and invasion of the late Imperial and post imperial forces out of Gauls and Istria (Rome had been abandoned but they still held on in the Dalmatic region where Diocletian had moved his Capitol in retirement before the rise of Byzantium).

We're Knights of the Round Table. Our shows are formidable, but many times we're given rhymes that are quite unsingable. We're opera-mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot. In war we're tough and able, quite indefatigable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It's a busy life in Camelot. King Arthur: Well, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

  • The coincidences of Mark and Tristan are intriguing and extend all the way from Cornwall to Galloway. Wrmonoc of Landévennec mentions in his Life of St. Pol de Leon, written in the 9th century, that St. Pol de Leon evangelized in Cornwall in the 6th century, and while there, he met with "King Marc whose other name is Quonomorus." So (if this be true) the inscribed stone at Castle Dore stating Drustanus son of Cunomorus also means Drustanus son of Mark. A slight sidestep from being his nephew but what the hey. Drustanus/Tristan is a Pictish name. There are numerous kings of the Picts named Drustan, Drust etc and the name doesn't seem to occur elsewhere... except at Trusty's Hill in Galloway. Intriguing that this is the location of the most southerly, and by a long way, known Pictish inscribed stone. And a few miles away we have the Mote of Mark. It has also been suggested that the Pictish symbol of the double disk and z-rod as seen at Trusty's Hill represents the name of Drustan, given the large number of such symbols and the number of Pictish kings called Drustan. If nothing more, is is an interesting set of coincidences.

  • South east Wales was the Arthurian kingdom, home of Arthwyr ap Meurig, Bedwyr ap Pedrog, Trystan ap Tallwg, Cei ap Cynyr, Medrawd ap Llew, ( these are just some of the people remembered as Arthurs knights) all 6th century characters. Even Arthur's line, his father Meurig (Maurice), grandfather Tewdrig(Theoderic), Teithfallt (Theodosius) were all recorded as Uthyr Pendragons/high kings (generallisimos) of Britain. The man who crowned Arthur was st Dyfrig/Dubricius, with st Illtyd the 'knight' being his first cousin......all of South Wales. St Samson of Dol was the son of Arthur's sister Anna and attended the second council of Paris in 556ad. These facts place Arthwyr in a specific place, and a specific time... the 6th century. Its the genealogies that provide the evidence, along with all the church records, poetry, place names, field names, fort names. It beggars belief that still even today people dance around the one place that was known as his main realm. We hear of Cornwall, Glastonbury, Winchester, Bath, the old north and southern Scotland, all places that do not provide anywhere near the amount of evidence that South Wales boasts. His field of influence was massive, most of his battles being fought in lowland Scotland against Scots, Picts and Angles, whilst in the south the Saxons were the main threat, nullified eventually at the battle of Mynydd Baedan/Mons Badonicus around 550ad. With regards to Camelot, it was a major Arthurian court alongside Caerleon. Camelot is a norman french rendering of an old welsh name. In Glamorgan we have the British palace of Caermead (branded a 'roman villa') with smashed white marble all over the field.....ignored and turfed over, and a forgotten 'castle' north of Cardiff called Caermelyn the yellow fortress......ignored. Its amazing how all this is simply not considered. This in no way denigrates these brilliant videos by Pete Kelly, but thought it necessary to inform people that might not be aware of the plethora of evidence we have on Arthur. For whatever reason, regardless of the fact that the Mabinogi was written in South Wales and features Arthur prominently, describing in detail the events leading up to the Baedan battle, no one it seems wants to search for him in this area of Britain. More and more it just seems that Arthur MUST NOT be found.

  • Weird it took me until my late 40s to explore even a tiny bit of the UK. Flew over it countless times but during COVID I spent a combined total of 4 months in Gloucester. Been a history geek my entire life and the Cotswolds are loaded with Roman, Saxon and Celtic history. My only regret is I had to work while I was there because I could have easily just wandered around ancient site to ancient site and been entirely happy. What the isles lack in surface area is exponentially made up for in depth of time and history, there's no way I could get to everything in a lifetime. Strange to me my ancestors go back to a significant degree to the UK where Scandanavian, Isle of Mann, Irish and English blood gathered and mixed for generations in places like rural England until the middle and late 1800s when Yellowstone country was where they wandered randomly and put down stakes. Channels like this put life into perspective as I realize I'm just a tiny imperceptible blip on the expansive radar of human history.

What I was trying to say, and I will speak very slowly and deliberately this time, is that I was amazed at the massive depth of history that was within a very small distance of my hotel in the Gloucestershire countryside. Believe it or not most of my ancestors from the British general area arrived in the US within the close enough past that there are photographs of most of them so I would say I'm not telling you your history but learning a large collective history that extends well beyond current UK residents.

  • Arthur and his story are symbolic he is a ‘bear king’ born of ‘bear dragon serpent ’ father who defends his land and then descends into the earth to come again when needed (typical European burial mound philosophy). Camelot is descended from Camlus… (arguably) another name for Cernunnos … the spirit/god of the woods and of wild animals … there are lots of towns whose names descend from camlus … thus there is likely no Camelot just lots of towns named after Cernunnos and once ruled by mighty Celtic lords. There were many Celtic lords willing to defend Europe from ‘civilised’ invaders… Arthur is just an amalgamation of them all and that is why his story struck a chord amongst nobility from Britain and France all the way to Italy and Eastern Europe. He is the bear king of the land to return and defend it when needed. You can see Arthurian myth as a last ditch attempt by Europeans to preserve their most archaic spiritual mythology.

Older Britain culture still there. And archeology shows it wasn't a flip switch. People stayed in the Roman cities and lifestyle for a while. At some point, the Empire was gone too long to keep the Rome in Britain. Government collapsed, you might not notice. Still going to the big baths, still have your job. But over time, those big imperial contractors don't show up. Some people start asking for trade. I wish there was more to tell of how it happened.

    • ​​@@Mad-Cowpat Literally no one thinks that the Britons were "stone age" compared to the Romans... Mosaics get re-covered all the time, as they're often too expensive to remove from the site where there were found. Reburying the mosaic protects it. As for their technology, they were iron age people, and most of their technology was equal to that of the Romans - the Romans took many influences from the iron age peoples they conquered.

  • Lovely work. Nice to see my old grave. Err! Tristram here. I believe it was the druids who would frequent those stone circles. Indeed, I stayed away as they were very powerful magicians and the like. I would sit on a hill and observe them from a distance out of eyesight. Still, magical days indeed. Guess who lives in the same town as me now? Isolde 2. Who thinks I should go after her? Isolde 1 down now. King Mark is here too. You all know him. He’s a famous actor. 😂

    • theres so many legends that are interwoven from older tales, theres a database historians use to cross reference them to see how humanities ideas traveled thru time. A lot of the greek myths have traces back older cultures, and theirs even evidence of the existence of a 7th star in the peliaides that our ancient ancestors must have seen before it blinked out, and corroborated all the way back to the first australians dreamtime stories. It could be the oldest myth, because the native 'strayens' seperated tens of thousands of years earlier. All on youtube. If your interested in the database, Creganford on YT has videos on it (the oldest myth)

  • The concept of Camelot is clearly supposed to be Camelodunum, the original Roman capitol of Britain, before it was switched to London. Doesn't necessarily mean that it ever had anything to do with the original King Arthur legend, but there's a very clear reason why it was included, along with every other provable real world location.

  • In Irish tradition isoleult ,Isolde is the sister of Saint ruadhan of lorre both children of the eoghanacta king of Munster based in capital of that kingdom Cashel, The name Cashel is believed to be derived from the Latin castellum or castle. Her brother Saint ruadhan is credited with inventing whiskey and opposing the high king of Ireland based in Tara. More ogham stone's bearing inscriptions both in Latin and Gaelic Irish are found in Cornwall and dumonia than anywhere outside of Ireland and within Ireland more of these memorial's are found in the territory of the eoghanact kingdom of Munster than anywhere else. The connections between dumonia and Munster and the Irish are very deep. The Cornish Saint Perrin is British p Celt equivalent of Irish q Celt Saint kerin. The pagan founder of the eoghanacta is named as mug nuadat or servant of the pagan god nuada of the silver hand, it's believed he is the same pagan god whose sanctuary temple was by the seven estuary where the British called him nodens.

  • The idea that Cornwall was remote and somewhat detached in Roman times makes no sense. Cornwall had tin, and was trading in tin across Europe for centuries (via Phoenician traders by all accounts). Transit may have been largely maritime but Cornwall (or Dumnonia if you prefer) was relatively rich and well integrated into larger Roman Europe.

When all is over and the field of battle is left to the ravens screaming over the blood of the slain there is the retreat over the wilds of liddesdale into the recesses of the wood of Celyddon and to the ancient forest which still bears its name hallowed by sorrow'-Ettrick Forest

  • No. I don't think Bluetooth was King Arthur. Camelot was half way over the mountain top. Arthur had his sister look up the mountain where he said his castle will be. The draw bridge was enormous. It took Lancelot all day to climb to Camelot. Notice (Lancelot) and (Camelot) are spelled very close? . Lot? Saint Michel's use to have a huge draw bridge? Could that be Christine? Charlene was Percy's castle. . Plus King Arthur was looking for the Grail. Could he have gone on a crusade? . Update: 04/16/2024 Correct, and don't forget about suit of armor. . Excalibur might have been very heavy. Some of the people that won a chance to pull it out, lied about their nobility , and had to fake they couldn't pull the sword.
