There is another reference to Elmet in Bede: "A basilica was built at the royal residence of Campodunum, but this, together with all the buildings of the residence, was burned by the pagans who killed King Edwin and later kings replaced this seat by another in the vicinity of Loidis. The stone altar of this church survived the fire and is preserved in the monastery that lies in Elmet Wood". Is "Campodunum" => "Cambodunum" => "Camulodunum" ?

One would think so! I meant to mention that one in the article, but was running on fumes and ready to hit send
