King 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.
