 Britannia King Arthur: Camelon
David F. Carroll sets out his ideas that suggest that the great King Arthur of legend was the historical late 6th century Prince Artuir, eldest son of King Aidan of Dalriada.
Artuir of Dalriada was probably born at least twenty years after the supposed death of the traditional Arthur of legend; though dating any event or lifespan in the Dark Ages is problematic at best.
The appeal of the Camelot identification is that it places an historical Arthur in the region where a place traditionally known as Camelot exists.

In fact, the Scots are called so because they were celtic scotti from Dalriada, an area of Antrim in northeastern Ireland.  From about the middle of the 3rd century Latin writings make frequent reference to raiding expeditions carried out by the Irish, who were now given the name Scotti, rather than the older one, Hiberni.
In the second half of the 4th century, when Roman power in Britain was beginning to crumble seriously, the raids became incessant and settlements were made along the west coast of Britain and extensively in Wales and Scotland.
From the early 5th century the rulers of Dairiada in northern Antrim extended their power over the Irish already settled in Argyll and the neighboring islands.  Ultimately, the Scottish kingdom of Dalriada became separated from the Irish.

Legend says that after he was killed at the Battle of Camlan, Arthur's followers fled to the mountains of Wales and to Brittany in France.
