Hi All,
Just to add to this, as interesting as Avalon, king Arthur and the Knights of the round table are, it is just a story there is no truth in the tale,
I'm going of memory here so i cannot quote exact names or the title of the book which was the start of the legend, the original story was written in a book published sometime during the 1100's, stories about Arthur's battles are believed to have been a mix of battles fought by five clan chiefs hundreds of years earlier when England was still separated into small groups, each holding areas of land and with the occasional battles between the clans,
the Name Arthur was made up at the time the book was written there was no such person, Avalon was also a name made up for the story, it was a popular story in its day and as with many story's passed into legend,
whilst the fact it was just a story was forgotten, and over the years since has become a folk myth,
also Merlin did not appear until 1260 in a reprint there is no mention of him until then,
its a nice story but sadly just a story,
