William of Malmesbury first mentioned Arthurs possible return in the early 12th century.



"But Arthur’s grave is nowhere seen, whence antiquity of fables still claims that he will return."



In the "Miracles of St. Mary of Laon" written by a French cleric named Herman in 1145 but referring to events that occurred in 1113 mention is made of the Breton and Cornish belief that Arthur still lived.



One Anglo-Norman text recounts of the Welsh that "openly they go about saying,... that in the end they will have it all, by means of Arthur, they will have it back. They will call it Britain again."



According to legend, Arthur was fully healed at Avalon, and he lives today.



some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place... many men say that there is written upon his tomb this verse: Hic jacet Arthurus, Rex quondam, Rexque futurus.



Translated in full, the phrase is "Here lies Arthur, King Once, and King in the Future"--or as T.H. White so succinctly translates it, "The Once and Future King."

According to legend, Arthur's headstone at Avalon is said to have read:

Hic Jacet Arturus Rex Quondam Rexque Futuris

Which translates from Latin to "Here lies Arthur — the once and future King".

There is no one prophecy exactly.



An early Welsh poem known as the “Song of the graves” gives the sites of the graves of many Welsh heroes, but then has the line:



“A mystery to the world, the grave of Arthur.”



See http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/bbc19.html . The line is often translated somewhat differently, but the meaning always comes down to the location of Arthur’s grave is unknown.



In William of Malmesbury’s “Chronicle of the Kings of England”, Williams states:



“The sepulcher of Arthur is no where to be seen, whence ancient ballads fable that he is still to come.''



See http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/malmsbury-chronicle1.html .



In Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th century “Historia Regum Britanniae”, Geoffrey only tells that Arthur, mortally wounded in his last battle, is taken away to the mysterious island of Avalon to be healed of his wounds. And Geoffrey makes Merlin prophecy about Arthur that “his end shall be doubtful”. See http://www.lib.rochester.edu/Camelot/geofhkb.htm , Book VII, chapter III, and Book XI, chapter II.



Search on “Morgen” in http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/vm/vmeng.htm for a later writing by Geoffrey which tells Arthur’s fate in more detail.



See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur%27s_messianic_return and http://www.arthuriana.co.uk/n&q/return.htm for further medieval mentions. There is no single prophesy, just a common belief that Arthur is still alive.



There are a number of different beliefs, but none of these texts mention “reincarnation''.

Hello,

I was looking for a free download King Arthur Gold I found it here: http://j.mp/1qXItpe



Finally the full version is avaiable!

Players of the King Arthur’s Gold title are required to construct siege machines for the destruction of their enemies, buildings for the production of military units and resources, and of course mines for gold.

It's a very nice game.

If you believe that you are deluding yourself. The probability is that King Arthur never existed.
