Near Boscastle, in Cornwall, is Pentar-gain, a headland called after him Arthurs Head. Other localities take his name in Brittany.

One such still remains at Danzig.There was one anciently at Thorn, about which a ballad and legend exist. Mil-ton was meditating an Arthurian epic in 1639 ; and in our own day the interestof the legends about King Arthur and his knights has been revived by Tenny-sons Idylls of the King and some of Wagners operas. We must not omitto note the magnificent life-sized ideal bronze figure of Arthur, cast for the monument of Maximilian I., now in the Franciscan church at Innsbruck, andregarded as the finest among the series of heroes there represented.
