The 582 date is interesting because it is in the Dark Ages and only 40 years after Mike Baillie thinks a comet fragment plunged into the Celtic Sea. A good reason to set out for other areas.

Also, there is a plaque at Fort Morgan at the mouth of Mobile Bay that commerrates prince Madoc's arrival here in 1170AD (Erected by modern day believers)
