KING ARTHUR OF THE VENETS

Tacitus, roman historian, wrote that the language spoken in northeast Baltic region was similar to that spoken in Great Britain. In Brittany was living a not Celtic people: that people were the Venets, traders at the two sides of the English Channel. When Julius Caesar defeated the Venet fleet, the Venets escaped to the forest and then to Great Britain. With the Roman conquest of the island the Venets escaped up to the north beyond the Antonine wall, in Scotland. After the Roman withdrawal from the island, under the leadership of king Cunedda the Venets went down to northern Wales. There they established the kingdom of Gwynedd, that is the kingdom of Venets. The original adventures of king Arthur took place exactly in Gwynedd and probably king Arthur was a descendant of Cunedda. So we can object to the prejudice of a Celtic origin of Arthurian legend, for a Venetic origin. The genuine symbol of this legend wasn't the Graal but the Apple tree of Avalon, and the very first Arthurian texts, like the Mabinogi, imply the sovereignty of a pre-Christian goddess.
