In at least one universe, however, the castle was not actually named that, instead being located in Caerleon. The idea that it was called “Camelot” was a misconception based on mishearing a line used by Taliesin in many of his ballads about the Knights of the Round Table: “In Caerleon, to the Castle, came a lot of strange people”.
