In legend, the guys we now call English were the ones he fought against, and lost. Which is why they now dominate most of the country except the extreme Northern, Western and South-Western bits - the Celtic fringe.
Historically, if he lived anywhere, it was probably North Wales and up the Scottish border country. But the English took him over, enthroned him at a fake Round Table in Winchester, and are still living happily ever after.
