      Another nearby stone with some fascinating folklore is the Four Parish Stone or Meane Crouse, on which King Arthur supposedly dined when he defeated the Vikings in Cornwall; mentioned in 1613, it bears an incised cross & separates the parishes of Zennor, Morvah, Madron & Gulval.pic.twitter.com/t9XA04j17L

      Detail of the incised cross on the Four Parish Stone & a section from Margaret Courtney's 'Cornish Feasts and Folk-lore' (Penzance, 1890) on the tale of Arthur dining on the stone after defeating the Vikings in Cornwall.pic.twitter.com/FfcZRlJqjm

      Incised cross with a hole at its centre.
      TEXT: 'Tradition tells that on these sands, many centuries ago, some foreigners landed, and fought a great battle with the inhabitants, under King Arthur, on Vellan-drucher Moor. "Where Madron, Gulval, and Zennor meet, there is a flat stone where Prince Arthur and four native British kings dines, and the four kings collected the native Cornish who fought under them at the battle of Vellan-drucher." -- Bottrell.)...'

          It's almost like he's a folkloric hero-protector, rather than a historical war-leader/general etc, who could potentially be associated with any event, time and place in the Brittonic world ;)

          Indeed Dr G. Crazed romantics prefer some kind of combination of all of those.

          I find the figure of Arthur utterly fascinating, just wish that the (pseudo)historical elements didn't so dominate most considerations of the early legends and folklore, almost to the exclusion of the other aspects of him! :-/

          Madron, Gulval and Zennor - what are these? The language is as unlike English as Basque is unlike Spanish.

          Gulval=from the patron saint of the church, St Gulval(?); Madron=from patron saint, though a Byzantine connection has been suggested; Zennor=again, a patron saint! (Sancta Sinara in 1235). :)

          How fascinating. The reach and influence of the Church in those days similar to Islamic theocratic rule today.

          It's an interesting idea. You may find the following worth a read on his kind of topic: https://arc-humanities.org/blog/2018/03/27/writing-the-transformation-of-the-roman-west/ … :)

          I wonder where she means by Vellan-drean ? In 1595 the ‘Spanyers’ landed at Mousehole, burned the village, then the church at Paul - a fair bit west of the Four Parish Stone.
