After this victory, the Saxons would not return for seven years, & I
believe it propelled Arthur toward the High Kingship of the
Britons. On Geraint's death, the throne would have passed to
Cador, who is seen as ruling Dumnonia side-by-side with Arthur in
the Life of Saint Carannog by Lifris.
In those times Cadwy and Arthur were reigning in that country, dwelling in
Dindraithov.
Their capital, Dindraithov, is called Cair Draitou by Nennius in his
list of British cities, & Dun Tradui in the Old Glossary of Cormac
(Ireland) where it is to be found, 'in the lands of the cornish
britons.' The glossary also describes a triple-fosse which is a
perfect match for the three sets of concentric works that
surround South Cadbury hillfort. This place has long been
associated with Arthur, as in John Leland's itinerary, c.1540.
At the very south ende of the chirch of South-Cadbyri standith Camallate,
sumtyme a famose toun or castelle, upon a very torre or hill, wunderfully
enstrengtheid of nature, to the which be 2. enteringes up by very stepe
way: one by north est and another by south west... The people can telle
nothing ther but that they have hard say that Arture much restorid to
Camalat.
Is Cadbury Camelot? Even today the fort is very impressive, the
greatest of all Dark-Age forts, & a fine candidate for an actual
Camelot. From 1966-70 Dr. Ralegh Radford & Leslie Alcock
