“But what happened to Arthur? The Song of the Graves hints at an obscurity surrounding his burial, and William of Malmesbury says his grave is unknown. Geoffrey takes him off the stage with a cryptic statement which can hardly be anything but an allusion to a lost legend. After the battle, he declares, Arthur resigned the crown to Constantine, and was borne away to the Isle of Avalon to be healed of his wounds. No more. No actual death is mentioned.”
Ashe’s study of the life and career of the historical King Arthur in so far as it can be traced through early documents and remains.
