- The Battle of Camlann (Welsh: Gwaith Camlan or Brwydr Camlan) is reputed to have been the final battle of King Arthur, in which he either died or was fatally wounded, fighting either with or against Mordred who is also said to have died.
- Arthur was mortally wounded at the battle. Merlin, the king's enchanter — an incarnation of the Doctor — placed his body and the sword Excalibur in an interdimensional spaceship and hid it at the bottom of Lake Vortigern. After the battle, rumours and legends spread that Arthur had not died at the battle, but was being kept in stasis until England needed him again. These stories may have originated with Merlin himself who, in a note to his past self left with Arthur's body, dismissed them as "propaganda".
- Camlann was chosen as the narrowest path to force Morgana army to retreat by Arthur despite them outnumbering his forces and was seen as a death trap. It resulted in numerous fatalities on both sides and a decisive Camelot victory due to the timely intervention of Merlin in his ultimate form of Emrys, however it resulted in the death of King Arthur by his former good friend and knight the traitorous Mordred who fulfilled his destiny to kill him and his Queen Guinevere assumed the Throne of Camelot as a result.

Mordred later accused his foe Ancelyn, one of Arthur's knights, of fleeing the battle. (TV: Battlefield)
