Arthur

Semi-legendary Romano-British warleader who led British resistance against the Saxons, Picts, and Scots in the first half of the 6th century. He was probably a warlord rather than a king. He operated throughout Britain, commanding a small force of mobile warriors, reminiscent of the late Roman comitatenses (line units). Arthur is credited with a great victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon, possibly in Dorset.
Arthur is said to have been born in Tintagel, Cornwall, and buried in Glastonbury, Somerset, although his life is too shrouded in legend for any of the details to be certain. His legendary base, ‘Camelot’, has been tentatively identified as a hill fort at South Cadbury in Somerset.
