That's an interesting point about the Norman use of Celtic myths to criticize the Anglo-Saxons. It will be interesting to see how Tolkien positions his work in relation to that long history of Arthurian legends among the Normans, Anglo-Saxons, and Celts. I can imagine Tolkien trying to work something out to reclaim the story for the English, but maybe just using the meter of the English alliterative revival will be his way of making that claim for "Englishness."
