Master the true story of the trip to Avalon also called Island of Apples

Avalon is the island to which the legendary king of Great Britain Arturo was transmitted by the healing of his wounds after his final battle, the trip to avalon mentions it for the first time in Geoffrey History Regum Britanniae de Monmouth, while Vita Merlini of the same author described it as the island of apples, Insula pomorum, was ruled by the sorceress Morgana le Fay and her eight sisters, all experts in the healing arts.

Geoffrey may have been trying to connect his island of apples with the traditions of the Celtic mythology of an elysium and Avalon's name is no doubt close to the Welsh word for apple, Sir John Rhys, however (Studies in legend artúrica, 1891), prefers to link the name of Avalon with that of Aballach, a hypothetical dark Celtic divinity.

Avalon has identified with Glastonbury in Somerset and this may be related to Celtic legends around a glass island inhabited by deceased heroes, it is equally likely that it was an attempt by Glastonbury monks to exploit the legend of King Arthur for the benefit from your own community.

Geoffrey de Monmouth referred to her in Latin as Insula Avallonis later Vita Merlini called it Insula Pomorum de Pomus which means fruit tree, the name is generally considered to be of Welsh origin although an ancient Cornish or Old Breton origin is also possible, derived from the ancient Welsh aball or apple fruit.

In Breton, apple is written endorsement and avalou in the plural, it is also possible that the tradition of an apple island, among the British was influenced by Irish legends concerning the other world house of the island of Manannan mac Lir and Lugh, Emain Ablach, also the name was used to replace the name of Avalon in medieval Welsh translations of French and tales of King Arthur.

According to Geoffrey in History and much later literature that he inspired, the trip to avalon is the place where King Arthur is taken after the fight against Mordred in the battle of Camlann to recover from his wounds, the Breton tradition claimed that Arthur never He had died, but he will inexorably lead his people against their enemies.

History also states that Avalon is where the Caliburn or Excalibur sword was forged, Avalon treated in more detail is described for the first time in the Arthurian legend the sorceress Morgana le Fay as the head of the Moronoe, Glitonea, Tyronoe, Thiton, Mazoe sisters, Gliten, Gliton and Thiten living in Avalon.

A description of Geoffrey from the island indicates that a sea voyage was necessary to get there. The island of apples that men call The Lucky Island is named after the fact that it produces all the things of itself, the fields there have no need for farmers' plows and all the cultivation is present, except what the Nature offers its own will that produces grain, grapes and apple trees grow in their forests.

The soil produces every place and people live there a hundred years or more.

In comparison, the description of Isidore of the Lucky Islands is said that the name of the islands of the Fortunate means that they carry all good things, such as being happy and blessed in the abundance of their fruits, by nature, having fruits of forests Valuable, its hills are dressed as vineyards instead of pastures, there are commonly vegetables and grains and the songs of secular poets have argued that these islands are paradise due to the fertility of the land found in them.
