The story of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail is well
known; less so is that of the coming of Christianity to Britain at
around the time of the Roman invasion. It is generally assumed that
both these legends revolve around town of Glastonbury, yet the
paucity of evidence for this assumption has always been troubling
to those who like their history to be founded on fact. In this
extraordinary book, Adrian Gilbert reveals the location to be not
just of the true 'Avalon' or 'Glastonbury' but of many other sites
crucial to the Arthurian legend. He shows how the core teachings of
Christianity were kept secret by a dynasty of Welsh kings and
saints and later (after the Norman invasions) by their surviving
descendants. For centuries this remnant of the Brittano-Welsh
nobility, still living in 'Avalon', kept alive a hope: they prayed
that one day a new Arthur, one with the holy blood of the family of
Mary flowing in his veins, would sit once more on the throne of
Britain. Extraordinary as it may seem, this hope may soon be
realised - for through the late Diana, Princess of Wales, our own
Prince William, whose middle name is indeed Arthur, is so
descended.
