Arthur’s ninth victory at
The Battle of the City of the
Legion
Chester
According to Nennius writing circa 800 CE he records
of Arthur’s ninth battle "The ninth battle was in the City of the
Legion"
He wrote in latin and refers to the Urbe Legionis This
gives two possibilities for a site as two cities were known by this title.
These are Caerleon in Gwent South Wales and Chester in England near the border with North Wales. There are two other former Roman garrison
cities that could be considered which are York
and Winchester.
Chester was Caer Legion, while Caerleon was Caer
Legion guar Uisc (that is
"Caerleon-upon-Usk"), though the latter often lost its suffix. Chester appears to be the
likeliest candidate. It was actually recorded in the Annales Cambriae as Urbs
Legionis. Chester
was also an important city in the Celtic
Kingdom of South Rheged.
York was
known as Caer-Ebrauc (latin Eboracum) the headquarters of the Dux Brittaniarum
and capital of Britannia Secunda. It later became the capital of the Celtic Kingdom
of Ebrauc and would certainly have been at some stage a stronghold against the
Saxon advance.
Winchester was
known as Caer-Guinntguic or Caer-Gwintwg. (latin Venta). Winchester was a major Roman military base
and well fortified. It is pretty certain that its strategic importance would
mean that the Britons would try to hold it.
Chester was
the site of a well documented much later Battle
of Chester in
613. King Æthelfrith of Bernicia
(According to Bede this was an Angle
Kingdom in North East England) invaded the Welsh Kingdoms in order to stop
King Iago of Gwynedd restoring the former's old enemy, Edwin, to the Deiran
throne.
The armies of Gwynedd, Powys, Pengwern & Dumnonia
rose to repell him, but were slaughtered at the Battle with Kings Iago of Gwynedd & Selyf
Sarffgadau of Powys being killed. There is the possibility that this battle was
confused with a battle of the King Arthur period or was attributed to him.
Arthur’s ninth battle was however a victory for him against the Saxons.
