	Lyonesse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyonesse, Lyoness, or Lyonnesse is the sunken land believed in legend to lie off the Isles of Scilly, to the south-west of Cornwall.
		According to Arthurian legend, Lyonesse is the birthplace of Tristan, son of King Meliodas (or Rivalen).
		It is often suggested that the tale of Lyonesse represents an extraordinary survival of folk memory of the flooding of the Isles of Scilly and Mount's Bay near Penzance.

	Lyonesse Trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lyonesse Trilogy of fantasy novels by Jack Vance consists of three novels of approximately 350 pages each.
		The trilogy is set in the European dark ages, in mythical Elder Isles west of France and southwest of the British Isles, a generation or two before the birth of King Arthur.
		The stories include a few weak hints that the world of Lyonesse is the same fictional Earth of Vance's Dying Earth novels (e.g.

		An island of forests adrift in the sea of silent mist that protects it, the sourceless sunlight is fiery gold in the deep violet sky of Lyonesse.
		Lyonesse is one of the many places found and settled by the ancestors of the modern Faery people after their banishment from Atlantis.
		Lyonesse is primal and older than Tir-na Nog'th as it existed before the destruction of Atlantis but it is not as ancient as Atlan or the Courts of Chaos.

		Sir Tristram of Lyonesse, though he was sometimes forced to deal with magic (as were many of Arthur's knights), was purely mortal.
		However, in the Arthurian corpus it is clear that Lyonesse is very much a human land, the kingdom of Tristram who is nephew of Mark of Cornwall and adjacent to his lands.
		To sum up The land of Lyonesse was considered to have been a real place in period, documented in works by period historians, and used by the writers of the Arthurian saga as the home of Sir Tristram.

		As Lyonesse starts to see for herself what kind of man Rhys is, even she begins to have doubts about his guilt.
		Lyonesse is left with no choice but to go with Rhys, never expecting that by the time they arrived at Ryonne, Rhys would be the one man who could enflame her desires.
		Lyonesse needs to be careful when making this decision, because both men are not what they seem.

	Lyonesse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Long ago, before the Elder Isles sank beneath the Cantabrian Gulf, a princess was born to the royal house of the kingdom of Lyonesse, to the great displeasure of her father the king.
		This is the beginning of the first volume of Jack Vance's Lyonesse trilogy, a traditional tale of love and warfare in a land of magic and fantasy, and to which the author brings his own irresistible brand of lyricism and wit.
		Lyonesse consists of three books: Suldrun's Garden was published in 1983 (it was renamed by the publisher Lyonesse, just to confuse people), The Green Pearl in 1985, and Madouc in 1990.

		This man's role in the region is largely uncertain however, since his traditional kingdom of Lyonesse is almost certainly mythological.
		Lyonesse, in its earliest form, appears as Liones, a name very similar to early forms of Lothian in Scotland.
		As shown by the Cornish stone, Tristan is a form of the Pictish name, Drustan, and a Pictish Prince named Drustan ipe Talorg appears in Welsh records as an early 5th century ancestor of the Kings of Gwynedd.

		Well once again we are into part of the Arthurian legend, According to medieval writings The Land of Lyonesse was the birthplace of Tristan and was the bolt hole for Mordred.

	Jack Vance, The Lyonesse Trilogy
		But when Jack Vance, seeking to exploit the Fantasy boom of the 1980s, conceived an Arthurian trilogy, he arrived at a strategy uniquely his own: discard entirely the familiar details of Arthur et al., substitute against a similar background a new cast of characters, and proceed with a whimsical narrative of sui generis eccentricity.
		The ‘Lyonesse’ Trilogy – made up of Lyonesse: Suldrun’s Garden (1983), Lyonesse II: The Green Pearl (1985), and Lyonesse III: Madouc (1989) – does contain a King Arthur figure in King Aillas, and the wizard Murgen is surely akin to Merlin.
		As indicated, the ‘Lyonesse’ Trilogy is superbly conceived and written, and its baroque brio makes its revisionist case as compelling as it is sweeping.

	Timelapse - Links: Lost Lands Lyonesse
		In Arthurian romance, Lyonesse is the name of the homeland of the hero Tristan, nephew of King Mark and lover of Mark’s wife, Iseult.
		But medievalists believe this is an error and that ‘Lyonesse’ is a corrupt form of an earlier name given to Tristan’s country.
		Wherever the tale started, it is not hard to believe there was once a flood which, like all disasters, was improved in the telling: a little village became a town and the town eventually became a whole kingdom.

		Lyonesse is a mythical land where the people live with all sorts of faerie folk and half-creatures of legend.
		In Lyonesse we have so many interesting characters and places and despite the fact that most really are only lightly touched upon, you get the feeling each one has a story of their own to tell.
		The central plot is elegant in its simplicity, in the same way that such classic tales as Snow White or Cinderella are, yet it doesn't sacrifice creativity or fall into a cliche to do this.

		After his death, Tristan became heir to this rich land, but he was never to take up his inheritance, because Lyonesse sank beneath the sea while he was still at his Uncle Mark's court in Cornwall.

		Lyonesse by Jack Vance: Suldrun's Garden (1983), The Green Pearl (1985), Madouc (1989, World Fantasy Award 1990); all reprinted in mass market paperback, all out of print.
		Lyonesse is, I think, Vance's masterpiece: a mannered, leisurely faux-historical fantasy, set in the mythical Elder Isles (south of Ireland and west of France) at about the time of Uther Pendragon.
		Suppose for a moment that Lyonesse is an ultimate play-within-a-play at the end of time.
