Re: Forget Cornwall, King Arthur ruled from Shropshire by Thorgrim on Thursday, 01 December 2005

The pool sounds like one of the many places identified as the location where Arthur received Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake. Or - where Bedevere returned it by throwing it into the water as Arthur lay mortally wounded. The last legend is very interesting because we know from hundreds of finds, that Iron Age swords were cast into lakes, bogs and rivers either as sacrifices or else on the death of their owners.. Some swords were even "killed" by being deliberately bent or broken and then thrown into the water.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
