Thanks for the Padel piece! It crystallizes some Qs I had re Ashe.

No problem :) His article on this in Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies is well worth look too+I've written on topic in past :)

I enjoy Ashe's approach for idea of Arthurian fact v Arthurian fiction. What -actually- happened, & who was around to do it.

And I like that he looks for a less insular figure. One who would have made waves in the larger world

It's certainly enchanting idea, but fear the evidence we have can't bear the weight of it & little early evidence for him :-/

If Gildas had been less a grump & more a chronicler, he could have told us so much.
