| | The Heroic Age: Lucius Artorius Castus, N/B |
 | | For example, the battle on the Tribruit, is independently attested as belonging to Arthur (Jackson 1945:57), and the Annales Cambria associate Badon with Arthur (Brengle 1964:7). |
 | | The only case for putting the battle somewhere in southern Britain rests on Gildas's assurance that the battle was against the Saxons rather than the Picts or Scots (Jackson 1945:56). |
 | | While this is an unusual time of year for battles to be fought in regions that experience heavy winters, Castus was well versed in such fighting and apparently quite successful at it, given his stint as primus pilus of the V Macedonica, which was stationed at Potaissa in Dacia (modern Turda in Transylvania; Malcor 1999). |
