England, Avalon, or Cornwall....The island is Avalon, which may be mythical. Arthur was reportedly buried there -- according to the legend, however, he is only sleeping.

There is more than one candidate for the location of Avalon, one being Glastonbury, which was surrounded by marshlands before they were drained. Arthur's remains were reportedly discovered there in the 11th century but it was probably a hoax cooked up by Glastonbury Abbey in order to attract pilgrims (and their offerings).

Another possible candidate is St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, which can be reached by a causeway at low tide.

Caveat emptor. The Arthurian legends are mostly just that -- legends. There probably was an historic Arthur, a Celtic chief who led the resistance to Anglo-Saxon invaders. But in Arthur's time, there were no knights in England. The concept of knighthood, chivalry, and all the other Arthurian trappings, did not arrive in England until the Norman Conquest in 1066 -- centuries after Arthur's time.

England- its the word that starts with an e and has 7 letters
