The stories say that King Arthur was taken to the Isle of Avalon after the Battle of Camlann. Some stories say he died there. But no-one knows where Avalon is.   In 1184, there was a big fire at the monastery of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset. Most of the Norman church there was burnt to the ground. The monks were desperate for money to pay for the rebuilding work. The monks said they were told that King Arthur was buried in the cemetery at their abbey. So they dug a big hole between two carved stones shaped like 'pyramids'. The monks said they found the grave of a man and a woman, along with a cross made of lead. The cross had Latin writing on it. It said 'Here lies the famous King Arthur in the Isle of Avalon'. When the new church was built, the monks moved the bodies inside to a new tomb and built a big monument over it. Lots of people called 'pilgrims' came to see King Arthur's tomb. They gave the abbey lots of money. The monks were able to pay the people who built their new church and everyone was happy. This all sounds very convenient. Were the monks just lucky? or did they make it all up to get the money they needed? What do you think?
