Thanks for the topic and pings! It's gotten more and more easy to believe that Arthur's story is a composite, some of which is lock stock and barrel borrowed from non-British folklore. And one of the Arthur stories has him conquering Gaul, a distorted recollection of a couple of Roman-era emperor wannabees, while other aspects appear to derive from Pre-Roman British characters. And the placename "Camelot" is obviously Camulodunum, Roman Colchester.
