Three Unfortunate Counsels of the Island of Britain:

Meinlas is the horse of Caswallawn in Triad 38. Caswallawn is a composite of Cassibelanus, the historical leader of a rebellion against the Roman invasion of Britain, and Caswallawn ap Don, a god of the Britons.

Hengist and Horsa are the leaders of the Saxon invasion of Britian in the fifth century; Rhonwen is a Saxon princess whom Vortigern wed in order to make an aliance.

I'm not familar with the third tradition per se, regarding Arthur dividing his forces with Mordred.
