  (Welsh: Arthwys; Latin: Artorius; English: Arthur)
  
  In the late 5th century, Arthuis succeeded his father, King Mor of Greater Ebrauc (York), in the southern area of his Kingdom: the Pennine region of today. He was probably a contemporary of the great High-King Arthur of romantic legend, and stories of the latter's exploits in the north may well be a muddled memory of this Northern King, who is thought to have fought against the Picts on numerous occasions. He was eventually succeeded by his son, Pabo Post Prydein.

  THE PEAK (SOUTH PENNINES)
  
  By evidence gathered from the lives of the Northern British kings, upon the death of Mor ap Cenau, grandson of Coel Hen, his Kingdom of Northern Britain (based at Ebrauc) was divided between his sons. Arthwys was the first King of the Pennines, ruling the whole length of the Pennines from Dunoting to the Peak. Upon the death of his son, this land was further divided into two kingdoms. The Peak, occupying the modern Peak District, was better land than in the north, and was probably the main base of the Kings of the Pennines.
  The name of the Peak in not necessarily the one used by the Britons, but it was clearly a name in use to describe the region, or some aspect of it, because the Saxons who invaded it called themselves the Pecset (set from seaxe: Saxons). As the invaders rarely gave their conquered territories names that did not derive from their locality, or their geographical locations relative to other Teutons, the Peak is just as likely to have been in use by both Britons and Saxons.
