;’) The name for Camelot probably came from the Roman name for Colchester, Camulodunum, which would also be a candidate for a post-Roman capital of some sort were it not for the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes’ having come in that way. Some writers attribute the name to a site near this or that road crossing this or that River Camel (there are a few different rivers and streams by that name in the UK). “Dark Ages” Viroconium is one of the better candidates for the “real” Camelot, but the story is probably a composite, and probably has pre-Roman roots.
