I've written about the Battle of Camlann before on this blog, and with The Grail I have been able to put the fruits of yet more research out there. I have finally (I believe) tracked down the original meaning of cam lann - which is how the place-name first appears - and it confirms that Artuir mac Aedain was the one and only Arthur of history.
There is quite a lot more detail given of the final battle in this chapter, especially in terms of topography (what the sources tell us about the scene and where those references show up on today's map), leaving precious little room for doubt as to where Arthur's last battle was fought. And all this builds up to a revelation which will be made in the next chapter:
The Grail can still be seen in the immediate vicinity of Arthur's last battle!
That chapter will be up in about a month's time. I'll let you know.
