Melzier

Meldred is a character who appears in literary accounts of post-Roman Britain. He may have been a petty king or chieftain in part of what is now southern Scotland for a period in the 6th Century. The village of Drumelzier in Peeblesshire may take its name from him and his seat of power may have been the fort of Tinnis Castle. He is of interest as the first named political leader associated with the Scottish Borders in the post-Roman period and a character in the source texts on which the Arthurian Romances are based.
