Mordred the Great

Every schoolboy knows that Mordred the Great defeated King Arthur the Tyrant in the ???? century, and Mordred's heirs had preserved the British crown through the Age of Crisis, and extended its reach halfway across the globe. By the 17th century, much of Europe, Asia and the New world was ruled from Londinium by the the kings of the Pendragon dynasty, protecting the Crown against the still-powerful Holy Roman Empire as much as the onset of the Dar Al Islam. **

?So would Mordred the Great, be the result of Winners Symdrome?

Mordred as a hero? Very interesting.

Shoot! I thought you were Grey! Probably has to do with the spelling of September.

until being finally defeated by the never ending waves of Anglo Saxons coming from the continent.

(funnily enough, there was no British crown in Arthur's days )

There was a British High King. This is the "British Crown" to which Duquesne no doubt refers.

But Briton doesn't equal British.

Never mind, even if Mordred could had defeated Arthur, the Anglosaxon tide was unstopabble.

The Anglo-Saxon advance was checked for more or less 50 years in the late 400s-early 500s (after the legendary Battle of Badon Hill). That doesn't seem particularly unstoppable.

If the Anglo-Saxons are contained in eastern Britain, where do the excess ones who settled England during the Romano-British decline (post-550-ish) go? Gaul?

Eventually the Britons were reduced to Cornwall, Wales and Scotland, and the Anglosaxons ruled Britain. Summing up, the Briton resistance lasted for some time, but in the end were defeated.

I haven't seen any more about the Book, but the POD is Mordred, son of Authur, managing to unite the Britions to resist the Saxons,
