England in the Dark Ages

Tradition states that the British found a strong leader in their struggle in the person of the legendary King Arthur, who commanded a body of well armed cavalry and achieved a great victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon, which was probably fought between 490 and 518, attempts have been made to identify the site of the battle as south west of the Upper Thames or Badbury in Dorset, but its true location remains a subject of debate.
