Seven

1. Seven Kings of Cornwall

   In Cornish folklore, an allegiance of seven kings who, according to Cornish tradition, helped Arthur to defeat the invading Danes and the battle of Vellendrucher.

   Afterwards they were said to have given praise and worshipped at the Sennan Holy Well, and then held a banquet at a rock called the Table Man.

   Merlin subsequently prophesied that the Danes would one day return, a greater number of kings would see this event, and that it would mark the end of the world.

   
   

2. Seven-League Boots

   Magical boots, invented by Merlin, that would enable the wearer to cover seven leagues with each stride. A league is commonly measured at 3 miles (though its actual length varied from time to time), so these boots could cover approximately 21 miles per step.

   
   

3. Seven Roads

   A heath and crossroads in the forest of Breckham, where Gawaine defeated a knight. The knight had been guarding the crossroads for the love of a lady.

   
   

4. Seven Shields, Castle of the
   Seavenshale, Sewing Shields

   Seven Shields was sir Walter Scott's choice for the name of this, another site beneath which Arthur and his knights are said to lie sleeping. It is in Northumberland, on or almost on the Wall, apparently on the northernside; Seven Shields is perhaps ten miles west and slightly north of Hexham on the river Tyne.
