The other story was of the miraculous tomb of Arthur’s son Anir, who was buried beside the River Gamber in Herefordshire on the Welsh border. Anir “was the son of Arthur the soldier,” Nennius writes, “and Arthur himself killed him there and buried him. And when men come to measure the length of the mound, they find it sometimes six feet, sometimes nine, sometimes twelve, and sometimes fifteen. Whatever length you find it at one time, you will find it different at another, and I . . . have proved this to be true.”
