SUMMER
- Summer Country
A land mentioned in Welsh legend, perhaps identical to the Summer Region. Before the epic hunting of Twrch Trwyth, Arthur summoned all the warriors to the Summer Country. Speculation has placed this land near the Mediterranean or in Somerset.
- Summer Region
The land ruled by King Melwas, Guinevere’s abductor in Caradoc of Llancarfan’s The Life of St. Gildas. As Glastonbury is said to be nearby, the Summer Region is probably Somerset. It may have some relation to the Summer Country of Culhwch and Olwen.
