Annales Cambriae




There are two entries on King Arthur , one on Mordred and one on Merlin . These entries have been presented in the past as proof to the existence of Arthur and Merlin, although that view is no longer widely held. It is interesting to note that all the other people mentioned in the chronicle are real.

Entries on Arthur, Mordred and Merlin:

:Year 72 (c. 519 ) The Battle Of Badon , in which Arthur carried the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ on his shoulders for three days and three nights and the Britons were victors.
:Year 93 (c. 540 ) The Strife Of Camlann in which Arthur and Medraut fell, and there was death in Britain and in Ireland.
:Year 126 (c. 573 ) The Battle Of Arfderydd , between the sons of Eliffer, and Gwenddolau son of Ceidio; in which battle Gwenddolau fell; and Merlin went mad.
