Winchester

Guincestre, Wincestre, Wynchester


Malory twice identifies it as Camelot.

Chrétien de Troyes, however, who elsewhere gave us our first named record of Camelot, cites Winchester under its own name as among Arthur's court cities.

Leaving Southampton on a May daybreak, and following the direct route, Alexander and his Greek companions arrived in Winchester before 06.00 a.m. to find Arthur.
