The <em>vita prima </em>is best known for what it says on Arthur. Carannog leaves Wales, encounters King Arthur in south-west Britain, even­tually gains his support, and is given lands near Arthur’s stronghold of Din Draithou. The location of that fortress has been obscure, but it must have been famous, because it figures in the ninth-century <em>Historia Brittonum</em>, as also the <em>Glossary </em>of Cormac (d. 908), bishop-king of Cashel in south-west Ireland.</p>}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-linguistica-uic/artykul/king-arthurs-din-draithou-and-trevelgue-a-cornish-cliff-fort} }
