The Breton Vita Sancti Uuohednouii or
Life of Saint Goeznovius by William is
usually dated around 1019 (according to Coe & Young).
"Quorum superbia postmodum per
magnum Arturum Britonum regem fuit ad tempus repressa, eis pro parte
maxima ab insula repulsis et seruire coactis. Sed eodem Arturo post multas
uictorias quas in Britannicis et Gallicis partibus praeclare gessit, ab
humanis tandem actibus euocato, ui iterum patuit Saxonibus...."
"[The Saxons'] arrogance was
presently, as occasion presented itself, repressed they by great Arthur
king of the Britons, so that they were driven out of most of the island
and forced to serve. But when that same Arthur, after many victories which
he accomplished illustriously in British and Gaulish areas, finally called
from human endeavor, [the island] was again forcibly exposed to the
Saxons..."
