King Arthurs Grave

Legend or Reality

                One of the most disputed topics in the history, of history is the place of the legendary King Arthurs grave.  Many areas claim to have this mans grave yet so few locations have been proven.  One of the most famous areas of his grave is the location of Glastonbury Abbey.  For at least 500 years now this abbey has been home to many hoaxes.  One of them dealt with having a piece of hair from the Apostle Peter; one of Jesus twelve followers.  Of course though a mysterious fire burned through the Abbey destroying it.  It was than rebuilt and monks and priest once again came.  Of course the people were afraid of the fire and stayed away from the Abbey.  One theory is at this point is where the monks started their hoaxes.  At once when they stated that they had the cloak of Christ people flocked over to this abbey.  A medieval Historian ruled the cloak as a fake and dismissed it as a case of, not knowing monks.  Of course when this happened the Abbey lost all of its followers once again.  Soon after all this though the King of England said that a Welsh counter-part had told him that the grave would be buried between what looked like two pyramids and that is would be dug down six-teen feet under; the Welsh prophet also stated they would find a cross Seven feet under.  If you have an obsession over graves than this would be heaven; already this place had one set of graves, rumored to be 20 feet under the second grouping of graves.  The tale folds out that St. Dustan had ordered markings for places of very important graves.  Since there was no room left for these graves he ordered dirt to be piled over them; like I said before, 20 feet of dirt.  At this he put the markers down for the graves and dug them.  The time was 1190 before the new Administrator at the Abbey could act upon the deceased King Henry the Seconds orders.  The monks started digging and at seven feet deep found a stone face down in the dirt.  It said this in Latin:  Hic iacet supultus inclitus rex Arturius in insula Avallonis, or in English:  Here lies buried the famous King Arthur, buried on the Island of Avalon.  They continued to dig and at sixteen feet found an Oak grave.  When opened a Welsh man known as, Gerald of Wales, said that the man inside the grave had suffered ten sever wounds, all of these had headed except for one fatal blow to the skull.  Also in the grave was a lady at the feet of this man.  She had golden hair, but when a monk touched it, it crumbled to dust.  Though none of the Monks had any idea of what to do with the grave and they just reburied it.  Sometime after that someone dug it up and put it in the Abbey for Pilgrims to see.  Though King Henry VIII ordered all Catholic churches to be destroyed.  When the zealot soldiers came in they destroyed everything; of course not knowing that it was probably Arthurs grave.  One unknown man was able to save the cross; of course its location is unknown and probably will until the end of time itself.  Of course if you are a true believer of the Arthur Legacy youll know that he never died and was fully healed at Camelot.  The other option is that, that grave wasnt Arthurs and was really just someone elses.  Of course my evidence has run dry, for I have no idea of what to look up upon this data.
