After watching a special on one of the cable channels on "The Search for the historical King Arthur", I bought two books at amazon.com: "In Search of the Dark Ages (of Britain)" by Michael Wood, a British historian. First chapter is "Boadicea." Wood also wrote "In Search of England" which devotes coverage to the Saxon era.

Second book was "The Holy Kingdom" by Adrian Gilbert in which he extensively covers the same time frame, incl. Boadicea. He postulates that King Arthur's home base was Wales, not Somerset, as is commonly assumed.

I saw this one myself.

We know very little about the Dark Ages...it was a worldwide event around 540AD. This is about the same time King Arthur is believed to have died.
