The Battle of Camlann is the fabled conflict in which King Arthur fought alongside or against Mordred, who also died fighting, and either perished or was gravely wounded. The earliest tale of Camlann, which was allegedly based on an incident that happened in Britain in 537, is only briefly mentioned in a number of mediaeval Welsh literature that date from the 10th century or earlier. Since the 12th century, significantly more accurate representations of the fight have arisen, usually based on the devastating combat depicted in the pseudo-historical-chronicle Historia Regum Britanniae. The subsequent French knightly romantic heritage, in which it became known as the Battle of Salisbury, is where the further substantially inflated variants come from. The Welsh annals Annales Cambriae from the 10th century contain the oldest dateable mention of the conflict. The occurrence of the battle is mentioned in a record for the year 537. It is argued that the conflict is real and that it followed the famine brought on by the terrible weather disasters that occurred in 535 and 536. However, the majority of historians believed that Arthur and the Battle of Camlann were mythological. In the Arthurian chivalric romances, further legends concerning decisive conflict of Arthur are formed. Arthur was subsequently transported from the Camlann battlefield to Avalon, a frequently unearthly and magical island, in the hope that he could be healed. Geoffrey had Taliesin, under the direction of Barinthus, deliver Arthur to Morgen (Morgan le Fay) in Avalon. Later writers of the prose cycles included Morgan herself, frequently travelling in a fairy boat with two or more other women, coming to pick up the king. Many later works, such as the Old French Post-Vulgate Cycle and the Middle English Stanzaic Morte Arthur, included adaptations of the final conflict of Arthur.
