The fabled island of Avalon, which literally translates into — the island of fruit trees, is a central element of the Arthurian legend. It first popped up in the influential Historia Regum Britanniae by in 1136 as a location of magic where the Excalibur sword of King Arthur was forged. Later, Arthur was taken there to recover after suffering a serious injury at the Battle of Camlann. Since that time, the island has taken on Arthurian mythological significance alongside the Camelot castle of King Arthur. Since its inception, Avalon has been linked to mysticism and magical beings like the sister Morgan of King Arthur, who was portrayed by Geoffrey and some later writers who took their cues from him as the monarch of the Island. The specific motif of Arthur resting in treatment of Morgan in Avalon has grown particularly celebrated and can be seen in various variants in many French and other mediaeval Arthurian works written after Geoffrey. According to some Briton traditions, Arthur is an everlasting king who had never absolutely died but would come back. Avalon has frequently been thought to be the former island of Glastonbury Tor, a long-held and widespread theory that was notable for involving the alleged discovery of the remains of King Arthur and their subsequent majestic reburial in conformance with the medieval English tradition that stated that Arthur died from the fatal wounds he sustained in his final battle. Several additional Avalon locations outside of Glastonbury have also been suggested or claimed. Occasionally, the location was referred to as a valley in mediaeval writings. Morgan and a few other mystical queens or enchantresses appear in several later renditions of the Arthurian legend to transport the mortally wounded Arthur from the Camlann battlefield (or from the Salisbury Plain as in the novels) to Avalon in a black boat after the battle. Sometimes nothing is said about fate of Arthur, or it is unclear. In other cases, his actual demise is truly verified.
