Author	Would Camelot have been a wooden fortress?
Andy B Joined: 13-02-2001 Messages: 7050 from Surrey, UK OFF-Line	Posted 26-05-2007 at 10:54 A question that arrived by e-mail, posted with permission: My name is Cheryl, and I live in Indiana. I am currently writing a fictional book about King Arthur, and I would like to ask you a question. Since I have set his lifetime in the 7th century, would it be most likely that Camelot would have been a wooden fortress? I located the site of his main stronghold at Queen Camel. Since most of what I have written has come from my imagination, (I hate research!), I was questioning that what I wrote might be possible. Blessed be, Cheryl Fischer Save all history!

When I lived in Yeovil I could see it from the end of my road. Last time I actually visited it was on a special school trip from junior school, aged around 10! Jim Profile Email Reply
