Arthur and the Lost Kingdoms by Alistair Moffat
Moffat builds up a thesis which enables him to reveal the location and identity of the real Arthur, argueing that he was not a king but a cavalry general chosen around 500AD to lead a coalition army. The key to Moffat's thesis lies in place-names and their derivation, and that the lost medieval city of Roxburgh and its castle were Arthur's Camelot.Alistair Moffat hails from the Scottish Borders, where he was born and raised. Once the Director of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Scottish Television's Director of Programming, he now leads the Borders Book Festival and a production firm near Selkirk. Kelsae, The Reivers, The Sea Kingdoms, The Borders, and The Wall are among his twelve books, all of which are published by Birlinn.
