Interesting that you should mention Glastonbury. It is one of the conventional-wisdom candidates for being Avalon, despite the fact that it is not an island and never has been. The medieval writers walked a very fine line between the Church and the nobility and jumped through all manner of flaming hoops to save their own skins, with some ridiculous results. Thankfully, those threats have now abated, an objective analysis of the evidence can be conducted openly. That evidence clearly points to a real Arthur who was a highly celebrated warlord of the Scottish Highlands.
