Geoffrey says that Constantine continued to have trouble from the Saxons and from the two sons of Mordred (see Melehan And Melou ). He eventually subdued his enemies, however, and chased Mordred's sons into churches where he murdered them. According to Geoffrey, he was struck down by God for killing them while in sanctuary, and was buried next to Uther Pendragon at Stonehenge . Though mostly forgotten in later continental romances, the British retained some knowledge of him. He appears, for example, in the '' Alliterative Morte Arthure '' and Malory 's '' Morte D'Arthur '' as Arthur's cousin and successor. One legend identifies him with King Constantine of Dumnonia , who ended his wicked ways and became a Saint . EXTERNAL LINKS
