The Massacre of Amesbury

Amesbury, Wiltshire, England Circa 450CE

An alleged massacre of Celtic Nobility by the Saxons

at a “Peace” conference

 

There is some doubt among historians that this massacre of Celtic Nobility by the Saxons ever took place.

 

In a story taken from the History of the Britons, Geoffrey of Monmouth described a summit meeting and peace conference between Vortigern the Celtic King and Hengist the Saxon King attended by the chieftains on both sides. During the conference the Saxons are said to have killed most of Celts who were there.

 

The story may be an exaggerated version of a less dramatic but very unpleasant incident built up by Celtic propaganda over the years. It is quite possible that at a tense meeting such as this, negotiations may have broken down at some stage with swords being drawn resulting in some injuries or deaths.

 

Geoffrey of Monmouth, as a Norman had a political interest in presenting the Saxons in poor light.

 

Geoffrey locates the conference at "the Cloister of Ambrius," near Salisbury.

 

Malory related a separate incident where

Guinevere, after Arthur fell at Camlann and was taken to Avalon, retired to a nunnery at "Almesbury."

 

At Amesbury, on the River Avon east of Salisbury, stands a Norman abbey church built on the site of a much earlier church or monastery.
