          @caitlinrgreen I love that Arthurian tales stretch Cumbria-Cornwall. Each "pocket" of native pop recalling that story of resistance.

          @caitlinrgreen One of the best mysteries of all time! I'm in the Riothamus camp for his origin story. I think R was Briton, not Breton

          @caitlinrgreen How 5th C Riothamus became 6th C "Mt Badon" Arthur is the tricky bit! Maybe his army took his name & used it as their own

          @STORI3D_PAST Riotamus is fascinating! But is he Arthur? Hmm! I kinda like Ambrosius as the victor of Badon & thus a composite Arthur! ;)
