Are these medieval britain? They sound more like those around, say, 6-9th century. After 1066, the existence of separate states in england at least would be dubious, and I thought medieval referred to a time more like 11th -15th century? Would Dark Ages Britain be more accurate? And I don't think there ever was anywhere actually called Camelot, whatever Malory says! -- Malcolm Farmer

Most English historians consider Medieval England to be 1066 (Norman Conquest) to 1485 (War of the Roses and beginning of Tudor period). By this earlier date many of the still extant counties of England were formed (naturally including the protagonists, Lancashire and Yorkshire). Data from the UK Public Record Office, and in the public domain.
