Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Excerpt from "Badon Hill"

by: John Masefield (Author)

from: Midsummer Night and Other Tales in Verse (Pp. 28 - 36) 1928

Lines 17-20 (of 180)
   Then, as his gang dissolved, he went alone
   Upstream from there, exploring the unknown,

   And reached a reed-mere, whence a trackway led
   Up to an ancient fort called Badon Head.

Lines 175-180
   Under the grasses where the cattle browse,
   King Loki's army kept eternal house

   In Badon earth, for none escaped alive.
   Thereafter Arthur's realm was free to thrive.

   For many years, no pirates had the will
   To band against him, after Badon Hill.
