The pious wish of the King seems to have been fulfilled, as the story was certainly well known, and appears to have been accepted as a genuine tradition. Thus the author of the _Histoire de Fulk Fitz-Warin_ gives a _résumé_ of the adventure, and asserts that the Chapel of Saint Austin referred to was situated in Fulk’s patrimony, _i.e._, in the tract known as the Blaunche Launde, situated in Shropshire, on the border of North Wales. As source for the tale he refers to _Le Graal, le lyvre de le Seint Vassal_, and goes on to state that here King Arthur recovered _sa bounté et sa valur_ when he had lost his knighthood and fame. This obviously refers to the _Perlesvaus_ romance, though whether in its present, or in an earlier form, it is impossible to say. In any case the author of the _Histoire_ evidently thought that the Chapel in question really existed, and was to be located in Shropshire.[11] But John of Glastonbury also refers to the story, and he connects it with Glastonbury.[12] Now how can we account for so wild, and at first sight so improbable, a tale assuming what we may term a semi-historical character, and becoming connected with a definite and precise locality?—a feature which is, as a rule, absent from the Grail stories. At the risk of startling my readers I must express my opinion that it was because the incidents recorded were a reminiscence of something which had actually happened, and which, owing to the youth, and possible social position, of the victim, had made a profound impression upon the popular imagination. _For this is the story of an initiation_ (or perhaps it would be more correct to say the test of fitness for an initiation) _carried out on the astral plane, and reacting with fatal results upon the physical._ We have already seen in the Naassene document that the Mystery ritual comprised a double initiation, the Lower, into the mysteries of generation, _i.e._, of physical Life; the higher, into the Spiritual Divine Life, where man is made one with God.[13]
