Glatonbury was not built until AD 941 over 400 years after King Arthur had died. He was buried in his own Kingdom, Wales.

St Dunstan was the first Abbot of Glastonbury in AD 942

A fire destroyed Glastonbury so the monks fabricated a story that Arthur was buried there to raise money.

Henry II wanted to control all of Britain including Wales and Scotland

Abbot Henry, cousin of King Henry dug up so called bones of Arhur and so the fraud started and continued ever since.

With all the fiction associated with Arthur it is refreshing to hear some facts.It is reported in some legends that Arthur was a descendent of Joseph of Arimathia making him blood kin to Jesus Christ.Thanks for the vid,loved it.
