Did King Arthur come from Shropshire?

Shropshire is a new contender as a location for some of King Arthur's exploits.

 

King Arthur's Courts are places which are very often  mentioned in ancient texts as being special places where King Arthur held court.

 

Just like other ancient monarchs and chiefs, King Arthur may have moved his court regularly across his kingdom.

 

King Arthur's Courts may have been in Caerleon on-Usk in Newport in South Wales is suggested by  Geoffrey of Monmouth.

 

London is another site of one of his Courts, as stated by Geoffrey of Monmouth

Carlisle, Cumberland on the western edge of Hadrian's Wall is another location.

Winchester is specifically described as being Camelot in Thomas Malory.

 

St David's in Wales is one of Arthur's three Courts mentioned in the Welsh Triads.

 

Stirling in Scotland is mentioned in Beroul's 12th century "Romance of Tristan".

 

The Welsh Triads also mention the as yet unidentified place called Kelliwic or Celliwig in Cornwall; which may be Callington. They also state that Arthur had a northern court in Pen Rhionydd, which is possibly near Stranraer in Rheged.
