what happened to Arthur?
King Arthur was taken to the Isle of Avalon to be healed, and what happened to him after reaching the island is a mystery. Some say he lies in a cave awaiting the day he is needed again by his country, others say King Arthur he died at Avalon. Apart from the somewhat dubious claim by the monks at Glastonbury to have found King Arthur's grave in the Middle Ages, no real evidence has emerged for an Arthurian grave.

Where did the little Jack Horner Nursery rhythm originate from?
The nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner" is thought to have originated in England, with the earliest known printed version appearing in a 1725 collection called "Little Jack Horner's Christmas Pie." The rhyme tells the story of a boy named Jack Horner who sticks his thumb into a Christmas pie and pulls out a plum.
Was the holy grail the womb of Mary magdaline?
No. This was a total fabrication made by the authors of a book called 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' which was used by Dan Brown in his own book called the Da Vinci Code, later made into a movi starring Tom Hanks. The first book is supposed to be a 'serious' study, but it is amazingly flawed and its argument and evidence base is extremely poor, and lacks any historical basis. The second book, by Brown's own admittance, is pure fiction. The Holy Grail, historically, has always been regarded as the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper. However, evidence for the cup's continued existence is very flimsy at best. Legend has it that Joseph of Arimathea (who owned the tomb in which Jesus was buried and from which Jesus rose again) took the cup as a 'keepsake' as he was a secret follower of Christ. As a rich merchant, he sailed to Glastonbury, Somerset, England and buried the cup in the hillside just outside the town. As a result, the town became famous and legends connected with the Grail and King Arthur are rife. There is some basis in fact, however. In the nearby Mendip Hills lead was once mined by the Romans (old workings are still visible) and spices from the east were traded there. Although Glastonbury is inland, the marshes that surround it flood regularly so that sailing to Glastonbury is quite possible. The Glastonbury thorn - a type of hawthorn tree - was said to have sprouted (or at least one of its ancestors) when Joseph stuck his walking stick into the ground. The Glastonbury Thorn is only found in that area and modern day Israel. The hole where Joseph is supposed to have buried the Grail is now a well in 'Chalice Gardens' and the water from it said to have healing properties. However all this 'evidence' is very circumstantial and mixed with myth, fact and fiction. Whether the Grail will ever be found is anyone's guess, but one thing is for certain - it is not some hypothetical 'womb of Mary' - unless you believe the movie industry, and those out to make a killing by writing controversial books.
What did Quakers speak?
Of course! Everybody has an accent. Many members of my Quaker meeting in Swarthmoor, Cumbria, England, UK, have the accent of the Furness district. I have found that Quakers in Bristol, UK, speak with a Bristol accent, those in Dublin, Eire have a Dublin accent and those in Manchester, UK, have a Manchester accent. I expect Brooklyn Quakers have a Brooklyn, USA accent and Peoria Quakers have the accent of central Illinois, USA!
Where might the real world location of the Avalon be?
Tough question. It is a mythological place, but many sources give a hint of where it could possibly be - and every specialist on the subject have a different idea, obviously.There are many other theories around and a new one arises every few years or so, so...Avalon could be a name of Welsh or Gaulish origine - so Wales and France are the first two choices possible.Mornmouth's description of Avalon could indicate it's located somewhere in the Canaries ; Gerald of Wales, on the other hand, claims it's in Glastonbury. This claim is mainly backed up by the fact that Glastonbury monks, in desperate need of money, tried to attract pilgrims by claiming they had found Arthur and Guenevere's last resting place.There are many theories on the subject but ultimately, the definite answer is: noone has a clue where it could have been - except between the pages of a medieval legend.
What is the full story of King Arthur?
The existence of King Arthur has been quite a debate. It has been presumed by some that the noble knight who appears in many pieces of literature during the Middle Ages might be just a made-up figure. However, an archeologist has found Arthur's tomb at Glastonbury, upon which was inscribed: Hic jacet Arthurus, rex quondam, rexque futurus, which literally means 'Here lies Arthur, king that was, king that shall be'.
Where King Arthur is buried?
Legend states that following the Battle of Camlann in 538AD the mortally wounded Arthur (who was not necessarily a "king") was conveyed from the site of the battle by his sister Morgan (reputedly a sorceress and otherwise known as the "Lady of the Lake") to Avalon. Avalon has long been identified with Glastonbury in Somerset. Until the late Middle Ages, Glastonbury was an island surrounded by swamps. The traditions differ, but those that say Arthur died say he died at Avalon. Here, they say, he was buried alongside his wife Guinevere. Myth has it that he did not die but passed from Avalon to the Otherworld where he reigns immortal; this is not unlike other similar legends regarding many a fallen Welsh hero. In 1193, King Henry II of England is said to have been made aware of the location of Arthur's grave and ordered that the body be exhumed. The monks at Glastonbury Abbey obediently dug down at the alleged spot and there some 16 feet down found the body of an extraordinary man (alongside a second female body) in a huge coffin made from a hollowed oak trunk. It was accompanied by stone slab on which in Latin and face down was carved; HERE IN THE ISLE OF AVALON LIES BURIED THE RENOWNED KING ARTHUR. After the body was found the bones were placed in an ornate wooden chest which was kept at the Abbey for veneration by pilgrims. Later, in 1278 during the reign of Edward I, the bones were placed in a black stone sarcophagus and re-interred next to the High Altar. Glastonbury Abbey was destroyed during the reign of Henry VIII in 1541. What became of these bones thereafter is not known and it is quite possible that the beleaguered monks secretly reburied the body elsewhere to preserve it from desecration. The last Abbot of Glastonbury was hung drawn and quartered on account of alleged treason and took the Abbeys secrets with him to the grave.
