Yes, my money is on Ambrosius as the real Arthur which is a nickname possibly meaning "the Bear" and also possibly arising from a bear skin robe or head dress as worn by Roman standard bearers. Not certain about the Shropshire angle, but Ambrosius/Arthur had a wide ranging commission and fought all over Britain.The decisive battle of Badon is the key and I feel that it must be one of the heights around Bath. Badon is a Saxon term meaning Bath hill and "Bad" still means bath or spa in modern German place-names
