King See also:Arthur was conveyed after his last See also:battle. In Welsh the name is Ynys yr Afallon, usually interpreted " Isle of Apples," but possibly connected with the See also:Celtic tradition of a king over the dead named Avalloc (in Welsh Afallach). If the traditional derivation is correct, the name is derived from the Welsh afal, an See also:apple, and, as no other large See also:fruit was well known to the races of See also:northern See also:Europe, is probably intended to symbolize the feasting and enjoyments of See also:elysium. Other forms of the name are Ynysvitrin and Ynysgutrin, " Isle of See also:Glass "—which appear to be identical with Glasberg, the See also:Teutonic kingdom of the dead. Perhaps owing to a confusion between Glasberg or Ynysvitrin and the Anglo-Saxon Glaestinga-burh, See also:Glastonbury, the name " Isle of Avalon " was given to the See also:low See also:ridge in central See also:Somersetshire which culminates in Glastonbury Tor, while Glastonbury itself came to be called Avalon. Attempts have also been made to identify Avalon with other places in See also:England and See also:Wales.
