In one of the oldest Arthurian stories he was said to have fought a giant on Mont St. Michel. (Historia Regum Britanniae by Geoffrey of Monmouth – CE 1136.)
Now I wonder if in the original tellings it was this place and later it was garbled to the more famous location.
This spot would make a lot more sense, especially given that Arthur was said to have been born in Cornwall, also according to Geoffrey of Monmouth in his obviously fantastical “history.”
