	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		Gildas is shown to be aware of the campaigns of Justinian I. There is evidence that Justinian aimed to invade Britain; that Gildas and his contemporaries knew it; and that it was Justinian, not the Saxons (whom Gildas regarded as defeated at Mons Badonicus) that Gildas intended his readers to fear.
		A definite date is also proposed for the writing of The Ruin of Britain, (561) which agrees with the traditional dates of Mons Badonicus (516/8) and of Gildas’ death in Irish annals (570).
		I also argue that Gildas was familiar with an eyewitness account of the Saxon wars (which I call "L"), and that his work is to be understood largely as a reaction to it.

	Ambrosius Aurelianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Some scholars have speculated that he was the leader of the Romano-British at the Battle of Mons Badonicus and as such may have become a historical basis for King Arthur.
		The first is what Gildas meant by saying Ambrosius' parents "had worn the purple": does this mean that Ambrosius was related to one of the Roman Emperors, perhaps the House of Theodosius or a usurper like Constantine III?
		Judging by his situation (a Romano-British living in post-Roman Britain and fighting Mons Badonicus), the titular character from the 2004 movie King Arthur was based on Aurelianus, despite the fact that his name (Artorius Castus) comes from another historical source for the Arthur.

	Kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons - Sussex
		Founded AD 477, the Saxon group under the leadership of Aelle, who seems to have been a major Saxon leader up to the time of the Mons Badonicus defeat, traditionally landed at Cymensora (The Owers, south of Selsey Bill and now submerged beneath the sea), and beat off the defending Britons there.
		These Saxons then settled around the area of Selsey Bill (between Kent and Portsmouth on the south coast), isolated by The Weald from the British kingdoms that still operated to the north (although only for a short time, as the Saxons of the Suther-Ge were already making inroads along the Thames).
		The South Saxons were probably major players in the defeat of Mons Badonicus (c.496) and may have lost their kingdom, as no mention is made of it and no Saxon burials are found there for another century.

		It is interesting to note that Nennius does not describe Arthur as a king, although the others are, but as a military chief or war leader (dux bellorum).
		Too, he attributes the British victory at Mons Badonicus, not to Ambrosius, but to Arthur.
		Although the battle of Mons Badonicus, itself, is likely to be historical, given its nearly contemporary account by Gildas, Arthur, himself, is more likely to be a legendary figure or folkloric hero who has been historicized, that is, associated with important events in the past so as to take on their historical reality.

	The Arthurian Legend
		Assumptions that a historical Arthur led Welsh resistance to the West Saxon advance from the middle Thames are based on a conflation of two early chroniclers, Gildas and Nennius, and on the Annales Cambriaeof the late 10th century.
		The 9th-century Historia Brittonum of Nennius records 12 battles fought by Arthur against the Saxons, culminating in a victory at Mons Badonicus.
		The Annales Cambriae also mention Arthur's victory at Mons Badonicus (516) and record the Battle of Camlann (537), "in which Arthur and Medraut fell." Gildas' De excidio et conquestu Britanniae (mid-6th century) implies that Mons Badonicus was fought in about 500 but does not connect it with Arthur.

		One is 'The Realm of Arthur', a far shorter, and more cautious piece going over similar ground to Mons Badonicus, that saw publication in the November 1994 edition of Mercian Mysteries.
		The others - 'West Midlands in Roman Times' and 'Boudicca / Suetonius', connect the Wychbury area with two other figures of British resistance, Caractacus and Boudicca, the former of the papers also describing something of the patterns of industry and settlement in the Severn valley under Roman rule.

		It seems likely that the whole administrative control of the region arrived along with the mint.
		The history of the "Arthurian" campaign is sketchy and confused, but it is a strong likelihood that its climax (the battle of Mons Badonicus, or Mount Badon) was in this territory, probably near modern Bath (about 40 miles away).
		Cadbury is an Anglo-Saxon placename - not surprising since there is further evidence that this site was refortified once again as a Wessex burh (a garrison against Danish raids), about 300 years after the time in question.
