	Arthurian Infopedia - Riothamus
		Riothamus was one of the British kings that led an army of Britons into Gaul and as Geoffrey Ashe points out, this fact matches Arthur's continental campaigns and therefore makes him a candidate for the historical Arthur.
		A possible historical timeline for the continental campaign of Riothamus is as follows: The Goths were settled in southern Gaul by treaty with the Roman commander and future emperor Constantius III in 415.
		Riothamus is recorded by Jordanes as fighting for the Empire against the Visigoths on the Continent.

	DragonBear History: All That: King Arthur
		On the other hand "Riothamus" is a Latinization of a Celtic phrase for "high king," so this may be a title and not a name, and so he could still be Arthur; and Ashe can rationalize the discrepancies of date to some extent.
		Riothamus has the same distinctive title attributed to Arthur, "King of the Britons," and there is only a relatively short window of time when this title could have been used at all plausibly: the roughly 30-year period when the Saxons were firmly established in Britain, but only on the eastern fringes.
		Obviously the Sarmatian veterans and the campaigns of Riothamus both pre-date the start of the Middle Ages, and certainly neither played a part in the medieval perception of King Arthur in the Matter of Britain, the Nine Worthies, et cetera, so I haven't been telling you about these theories to inform our re-creation activities.

	[No title]
		Riothamus Léon Fleuriot makes the important point that the earliest sources talk more about Ambrosius than about Arthur which is very surprising in view of the predominant place taken by Arthur in later narrative materials.
		Riothamus Ambrosius must have been a very formidable opponent since in Nennius (HB), it says of Vortigern: he was under pressure..from fear of the Picts and the Scots..and from dread of Ambrosius.
		Riothamus Although it is credible to think of Ambrosius as king on both sides of the Channel (the west), it is more challenging to imagine him as king of the Franks.

		Geoffrey Ashe argues that King Arthur was an historical king in Brittany known to history as Riothamus, a title meaning "Greatest-King".
		His army is recorded as having crossed the channel to fight the Visigoths in the Loire Valley in 468.

	Letter to Riothamus: Sidonius Apollinaris
		The letter, written in the late 460's or early 470's, is an appeal to Riothamus, whom Sidonius apparently knows to be a fair-minded and honourable ruler, for justice for "an obscure and humble person," who has suffered a wrong.
		If Riothamus had come across the Channel from Britain to Gaul, he would have had no interest or jurisdiction there and could not be expected to be a part of any normal judicial process.
		But, it could be argued that since Riothamus was in Gaul at the behest of the Roman Emperor, he was the Emperor's de facto representative in that area and, as such, had full legal jurisdiction.

		Their King Riotimus [Riothamus] came with twelve thousand men into the state of the Bituriges by the way of Ocean, and was received as he disembarked from his ships.
		From these sources, Ashe has argued that Riothamus, “king of the Brittones,” who was fighting on the continent when Sidonius wrote his letter about AD 470, is the historical prototype for Arthur and that Geoffrey of Monmouth drew on this tradition when writing of Arthur’s Gallic campaign in the Historia Regum Britanniae.
		Too, if Riothamus were a British king, responding with 12,000 men to aid the Romans against the Visigoths, one wonders why he should not have been battling Saxon invaders ravaging his own country.

		The record of Riothamus was thought to have stopped with the defeat of British forces on the continent in 470 AD, leaving no trace of the their war leader.
		The second, is that Riothamus is in Gaul at the behest of the Roman Emperor Anthemius, to aid the Romans against the Goths.
		Ashe establishes a very solid case that Arthur is in fact, Riothamus - but as his recorded history ended in 470 AD with his defeat in Gaul, Ashe supposes that the later British material on Arthur is a construct - adding the deeds of another military leader to the legends which developed around Riothamus.

	Ruin and Conquest of Britain: Facts
		At the invitation of the Roman Emperor, Riothamus, "king of the Britons", leads a force of considerable size into the heart of Gaul "by way of the Ocean" (Jordanes).
		It is hard to see how one could infer from this that Riothamus was a king of Brittany, as many authors have.
		They all hinge on (and hence are identified by) the position of Riothamus' doings in Gaul in relation to the Saxon revolt, Ambrosius' victory, and the battle of Badon.
