Yes, Charlie.  It's all throughout the Arthurian material, and definitely
seems borrowed from the Welsh/Cornish/Breton (it's in Chrétien de Troyes
somewhere) to mean that area of early England once inhabited by the Britons.
Logres has also become something of a cult word, and I find it links to
several "Celtic Magic" sites on the Internet.  Still haven't left for the
library, yet. :)
