![]() ![]() ![]() The Annales Cambriae dates Arthur's Battle of Badon about 516 to 518 and the Battle of Camlann and Arthur's death about 21 years later about 537 to 539. The Historia Brittonum puts the 12 battles (including Badon) of Arthur some time vaguely between about 450 and 550 AD. There is internal evidence that The Ruin of Britain should have been written early in that period and conflicting internal evidence that it should have been written late in that period and other evidence it was all written at one time. Gildas doesn't name Arthur but mentions the battle of Badon either a generation or 2 earlier or 43 years earlier than his own uncertain period in the 5th or 6th century AD.
