Gueneviere a Maori? Women in historical times.

Discussing the Merlin series currently replaying on free-to-air TV it was mentioned how ridiculous it was to have a Maori playing Gueneviere.

So then I find a link on FB to this blogpost and, well, who knows!

It would have helped if the writer chap had been a little more selective in selecting his sources. The finding of a grave with a female warrior should not immediately lead to conclusions concerning the existence of a full Women's Cavalry Corps, completes with battle honours.

Where might one find evidence of Maori aristocrats present in 4th Century England?
