The two major centers for the cultus of Saint Constantine were the church in Constantine Parish and the Chapel of Saint Constantine in St Merryn Parish (now Constantine Bay), both in Cornwall. The former was established by at least the 11th century, as it is mentioned in Rhygyfarch's 11th-century Life of Saint David. At this time it may have supported a clerical community, but in later centuries it was simply a parish church. The Chapel at Constantine Bay had a holy well, and was the center of its own sub-parish. [9] If I had been on that beach at the beginning, I would have grabbed the nameless boy and been like "Hey, don't follow that bell sound! There's a long-winded, self-centered old man waiting for you who claims to be the high king of Britain but is actually just a jerk, and he'll talk your ear off and bore us all if he finds you." This book is marketed towards children, but it comes from a different era of children's literature when authors introduced advanced ideas to children. Unlike other "kids Arthur" books I have seen, the content in this book is just barely sanitized, however. The writer does a great job of including a lot of the adult themes of Arthurian Legend in a way that isn't too graphic that it turns off children.

In this book I loved Lancelot… yeah I know he wasn’t the best and he did bad things in the book, but still I loved how his story was beautiful but still had a dark side, I really loved how we felt that he was a human, he did good things but also did bad choices just like us humans. And that’s why Lancelot is my favourite character.

Blaess, Madeleine (1956). "Arthur's Sisters". Bulletin Bibliographique de la Société Internationale Arthurienne. 8: 69–77. I had the best time reading this story and the characters were truly incredible! I truly adored Gawain and Arthur's faithful dog, Bercelet the most And I felt this was a tale about family, friendships, betrayal, lost love, revenge, forgiveness and faith. It had epic battles, magic, and loads of adventure! See Jones & Jones 1949 for accurate translations of all three texts. It is not entirely certain what, exactly, the relationship is between these Welsh romances and Chrétien's works, however: see Koch 1996, pp.280–288 for a survey of opinions Translated in Coe & Young 1995, pp.22–27.

One of the most famous Welsh poetic references to Arthur comes in the collection of heroic death-songs known as Y Gododdin ( The Gododdin), attributed to the 6th-century poet Aneirin. One stanza praises the bravery of a warrior who slew 300 enemies, but says that despite this, "he was no Arthur" – that is, his feats cannot compare to the valour of Arthur. [48] Y Gododdin is known only from a 13th-century manuscript, so it is impossible to determine whether this passage is original or a later interpolation, but John Koch's view that the passage dates from a 7th-century or earlier version is regarded as unproven; 9th- or 10th-century dates are often proposed for it. [49] Several poems attributed to Taliesin, a poet said to have lived in the 6th century, also refer to Arthur, although these all probably date from between the 8th and 12th centuries. [50] They include "Kadeir Teyrnon" ("The Chair of the Prince"), [51] which refers to "Arthur the Blessed"; " Preiddeu Annwn" ("The Spoils of Annwn"), [52] which recounts an expedition of Arthur to the Otherworld; and "Marwnat vthyr pen[dragon]" ("The Elegy of Uther Pen[dragon]"), [53] which refers to Arthur's valour and is suggestive of a father-son relationship for Arthur and Uther that pre-dates Geoffrey of Monmouth.
