Question
A prophecy of Nostradamus that predicts a “nephew” murdered in this city through a “false peace” also mentions a “great heavenly temple.” A group of bards established a stone ring and sword altar called Gorsedd in this city, which may be named for a zealous builder who quarreled with his brother Nennius. This city is allegedly protected by a white hill under which the head of (*) Bran the Blessed is buried. According to legend, a stone named for this city was once an altar to Diana established by Brutus, whose people established the settlement of New Troy that eventually became this city. In a book by Thomas Malory, Mordred besieges a structure in this city that protects Guinevere. For 10 points, Julius Caesar is said to have founded a namesake “tower” in what capital of the Britons? ■END■
