 King Arthur, Cunedda and Coel Hen are some of these figures.As far as Arthur is concerned, as with many other areas with Celtic connections, there are a number of Arthurian legends associated with Cumbria.After the Roman withdrawal, Coel Hen may have become the High King of Northern Britain (in the same vein as the Irish Ard Rí) and ruled, supposedly, from Eboracum (now York).
