Lincolnshire and the Arthurian Legend

[h***@hotmail.com]

Those who read this group many moons ago may remember that I suggested
that a case might be made for linking Arthur with Lincolnshire, partly
out of a desire to show that a historical Arthur theory can be
constructed for nearly any part of Britain. In any case, I've decided
to pursue this a little and the results of this can now be downloaded
in pdf format from my website -- the link is on the frontpage...

A question popped into my ignorant mind while reading the above: Could
"dux bellorum" be a description of *how* Arthur performed, rather than
*what* he performed? I.e., he was the leader in terms of results, not in
terms of directly telling the others what to do. Like the way we call
Elvis "the King of Rock", or the highest scoring player in some sports
the leader of that sport.

Lol! I like the image! :) Personally, I don't think dux can carry
this implication here...

My gosh, Tom, I haven't visited your web site in a long time...perusing
it just now is overwhelming and inspirational. I'll be reading your 17
page Lincolnshire dissertation this weekend. You've done some
incredible work.

Well, you've got me blushing now ;) But thank you, Bert -- after
finishing 'Concepts' I thought I'd tie up any loose ends and finish off
the things that had been bugging me, hence setting out the case for a
Lincolnshire Arthur. Another thing was this whole Arthur and _Kadeir
Teyrnon_ question; my solution to that will be in either the next (or
the one after that, depending on space) volume of _Studia Celtica_.

Anyway, I'd be interested to know what you think; figured that I have
to have a backup position in place, just in case anyone digs up 'King
Arthur woz 'ere after Badon' from a securely dated context...!

Cheers,

Tom
