The scholarship reveals just what Ashe wished to prove, ie the link to Tintagel, yada yada yada. This is the British standard view, prevalent among those who believe in an historical Arthur.

You owe it to yourself to check out an opposing viewpoint. If you read Ashe, then go to Goodrich. Begin with her Merlin. Goodrich is an American, with few links to the establishment. She presents an entirely opposing view, and one that makes a great deal of sense historically.
