Hi... Utmost greetings to Britain. Thank You for the message and for the feedback. I think You made the right thing (to remove the edit from the Isle of Man page)(since the information was more concerning the Isle of Wight and hence partly in an inappropriate location). The edit was made to provide You with more information (more accurate information) so that the article may be revised and refined with the latest and the best possible information. The edit was made because I lacked an email address and a proper channel of communication with You editors (I am not familiarised with all the fineness of the system's qualities). So, this may now be the right channel. I will communicate all possible new information through this Talk page, so that You don't need to watch or remove anymore edits from the actual articles

I am sending You below a few more pieces (of information)(in connection to yesterday's edit/message) that I hope You will find useful. I believe that they contain interesting and important information from historical perspective that may be evaluated and/or used appropriately (in further research):


1) Still continuing the message (sent yesterday) about King Arthur and the isle of Avalon (possibly the Isle of Wight). The poetic form in Penguin Classics: "King Arthur's Death" reveals (p. 167) that "They entered the Isle of Avalon… A surgeon from Salerno searched his wound, But the King could tell that he would never recover, …". And p. 299: "And Arthur, sorrowing, answered to him, 'Thisday I must be gone To heal my grievous wounds awhile In the vale of Avalon. … The ship sailed slowly from the land...". The same message is given in Penguin 60s Classics p. 24: "...for I will into the vale of Avilion to heal me of my grievous wound…" … And as soon as Sir Bedevere had lost the sight of the barge…". So, basically Arthur is being brought to the Isle of Avalon for healing, for recovery (see phrases above). For it was "the dwelling-place of the ladies who know all the magic of the world" (Penguin Classics, p. 299). It seems that it was not enough, resulting the the death and burial of Arthur to Glastonbury.

2) Still continuing the message (sent yesterday) concerning the possible location of the Grail Castle being on the Isle of Man or the islands nearby (remember Idylls of the King, about Sir Pelleas from the isles+other references), I have one more argument in favor of this conception. In semiotics, the "Rich Fisher King" (the King of the Grail Castle)(the guardian of the Grail Castle and the Grail)(the father of the Grail maid) may be connected to a simply appellation of a man or a person: "he is the Fisher king", "the king who fishes", the "King of the isles where livelihood and income comes from fishing (fishery)". "Rich Fisher King" because he (/the territory) has got wealthy from fishing activities. It may be as simple as that. Moreover, the sea and the sea journey is present in the approach to the Grail Castle (see Idylls of the Kings, chapter: "The Holy Grail", p. 183).

3) Monmouth's book "The History of the Kings of Britain" (Penguin Classics) p. 345 gives more information about the "Maidens' Castle", present in many of the stories related to the Grail.


Thank You again. Looking forward to send You more later. Happy New Year 2019.
