A legendary British king or possibly a place associated with the Battle of Badon, a famous conflict in early medieval Britain.
From Welsh and Latin sources referring to Mount Badon (Mons Badonicus), a battle site possibly commanded by King Arthur around the 5th-6th century. The name appears in historical and pseudo-historical texts about post-Roman Britain.
The Battle of Badon is one of the few battles that might actually prove King Arthur existed—it was a real clash that stopped Saxon advances into Britain for decades, and it's one of the only events from Arthur's legend that appears in non-Arthurian chronicles!
