A local legend suggests that Bardon Hill, Leicestershire, is actually the Mount Badon of King Arthur fame. It is known that the Britons severely defeated an invading Anglo-Saxon army at some time around the of the 5th-6th century. Bede names Ambrosius Aurelius, a Roman, as the man who led the Britons to victory at the battle. A nearby field name is still called Battle Flat, and the legend also claims that the dead were buried at nearby Billabarrow hill.
