Absolutely fascinating chapter.

I got each and every reference, but then I love Arthurian legends.

Did I miss chapter 1?

Was there a chapter 1?

The rightful riothmas....

I thought the scots-gaelic word for king was Rig. Because Queen is Banrig.

or is the celtic word different?

Check out Geoffrey Ashe.

Rio-Thamus is a title given to one of the historical persons the Arthurian legend was built on. Ri, Rio, Rix, Righ mean King, in multiple Celtic tongues. Just as Rex does in Latin. Same common root. Rio, Righan, Rhian, is also Queen. Thus Rhiannon, Queen of Annon , Anwwn, or Morrigan/ Morrigna/Morigu. Or Welsh Morganna,.

Great Queen. Riothamus is

King on the Thames. A title for King of Britons. He led an army of Britons against Euric, the Visigoth, in the Sixth century, just outside a town in Gaul named Avalon. I have merged RioThamus, with Arthur, and Ambrosius. My Merlin is Merlin, Myrddyn Wylt and Aneirion combined.

Guinevere is the lady of the lake, Morganna, Bedwyr is a combination Bedivere and Lancelot, without the betrayal. My Arthur, is Cerdic, founder of Wessex's father...

As you noted I dug deep. Mining elements seldom referenced. With a bit of a twist.
