Cameliard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two Knights do Battle before Cameliard, by Howard Pyle from The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. (1903)

In the legends of King Arthur, Cameliard or Carmelide is the estate of the young Guinevere and her father, King Leodegrance.[1] Although the legends traditionally place the kingdom in Wales, historical roots may be found in Cornwall.[2] It was at Cameliard that the Round Table was kept prior to being given to Arthur by Leodegrance as part of Guinevere's dowry.
