	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

		Lyonesse occupies the southern half of Hybras, and is ruled by King Casmir and Queen Sollace.
		In a rage, Casmir confines her to her garden, barred on two sides by a steep ravine, the third by a wall and a locked gate, and the fourth by the sea.

	Lyonesse: Suldrun's Garden: Suldrun's Garden Bk.1 (Fantasy Masterworks S.) Book at Shop Ireland
		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.
		Jack Vance's Lyonesse trilogy kicks off with this epic volume crammed with characters, magical happenings, weird creatures, bizarre realities (I particularly liked the angry talking mountains of custard), plots, subplots, and so many vendettas that keeping track of everything requires a lot of reader concentration and perhaps a notepad.

	Jack Vance - Palimpsest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The trilogy is genuinely a single story covering about twenty years in the history of Lyonesse, a mythical group of islands that used to occupy a vast proportion of the area we now call the Bay of Biscay.
		The thrust of the trilogy is that King Casmir wants to rule all of the Elder Isles and is prepared to marry off his daughter and, eventually, granddaughter in order to further these aims, while he is opposed by the determination of Aillas to subdue Casmir's ambitions.
		Finally, the puzzle of the pedigree of Madouc, Princess of Lyonesse, is satisfactorily resolved at the end of all three volumes.

	Lyonesse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		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.

		Vance's Lyonesse is a tough, dangerous world: ogres raping women, killing & eating children, fathers imprisoning daughters for disobedience, prisoners of war enslaved, and so forth.

	Jack Vance, The Lyonesse Trilogy
		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.
		The traditional Round Table Cycle is, of course, a story of unification or integration, with Arthur’s achievement of a realm founded on the chivalric ideal amounting to a temporary fulfillment of a universal aspiration towards peace, justice, and righteous conduct.
		As indicated, the ‘Lyonesse’ Trilogy is superbly conceived and written, and its baroque brio makes its revisionist case as compelling as it is sweeping.

		This is the final volume in Vance's Lyonesse Trilogy, concluding the story begun in Suldrun's Garden and continued in The Green Pearl.
		Unfortunately, his Lyonesse trilogy is not one of the recent reprints.
		King Casmir, in the southern kingdom of Lyonesse, has ambitions to reunite the several kingdoms, and his daughter Suldrun he sees as a pawn, good for nothing more than to be played in the game of marital politics.

	Fictionwise eBooks:
		A monument of fantastic literature to stand beside such classics as Dune and The Lord of the Rings, Lyonesse evokes the Elder Isles, a land of pre-Arthurian myth now lost beneath the Atlantic, where powerful sorcerers, aloof faeries, stalwart champions, and nobles eccentric, magnanimous, and cruel pursue intrigue among their separate worlds.
		In this first book of the trilogy, Suldrun's Garden, Prince Aillas of Troicinet is betrayed on his first diplomatic voyage and cast into the sea.
		In this second volume of the Lyonesse trilogy, The Green Pearl, King Aillas of Troicinet defends the peace of the Elder Isles against both the Ska marauders who once enslaved him and the wicked King Casmir.

	Jack Vance
		The Lyonesse series of fantasy novels constitute the exception to these rules; they are much more complexly plotted, intercutting the affairs of several different protagonists.
		Indeed, there is a great deal of the 18th-century philosophe in Vance, who in his Lyonesse trilogy pokes particular fun at Christianity.
		Indeed, his values sometimes have the force of prejudices, as with his disdain for homosexuality: the few homosexuals in Vance's work are all villains, principally King Casmir of Lyonesse, Faude Carfilhiot and the wizard Tamurello, all from the Lyonesse trilogy.

		Lyonesse was the Celtic equivalent of Atlantis, and may have been based on what happened (and is still happening) to the Isles of Scilly off Cornwall.

		The eponymous heroine of this fantasy, the conclusion to Vance's Lyonesse trilogy, is the quarrelsome, spunky, forthright princess of Lyonesse, who was born out of wedlock--or so she is led to believe.
		Meanwhile, her uncle, King Casmir, attempts to conquer the whole island of Hybras, on which Lyonesse is located, and thwart the prophesy of Persilian the Magic Mirror that his sister's son would one day rule.
		He is foiled at every turn by King Aillas of Troicinet and his son Dhrun, who is actually the child of the prophesy, but is older than expected because of a youth spent in the fairy shee (home), where time runs differently.

		Casmir, the king of Lyonesse, has a daughter, Suldrun, who does not wish to be a pawn in her father's political games, married off so as to advance his ambitions.
		In Lyonesse, many of the characters are clearly meant to be evil, and a few to be good.

		LYONESSE has great potential, especially if it moves west or south early on, but Troicinet will be an immediate problem.
		Keep Lyonnesse Town well-fortified and try to capture the fortresses guarding the Vale of Evander to the west, then take Ys at the Vale's northwestern tip (it's a very rich city), then attack Troicinet to the south.
		TROICINET has a natural geographical advantage, and may be the easiest side to win with.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Lyonesse II: The Green Pearl and Madouc
		They themselves appear to have at one time lived, and sometimes still keep a current residence, there and their bone-deep conviction that it is, was, or might still be a reality seeps through into the reader when he picks up a book about such a world.
		I have absolutely no doubt, while enthralled by the Lyonesse books, that I am in fact reading some alternate history at whose unfolding I may not have been personally present but which is none the less real because of that.
		Warring kingdoms with resounding ancient names, changeling princesses, duelling sorcerers, tangled webs of politics and enchantment -- Vance treats things which are on the face of it strange and unbelievable with a glorious matter-of-factness that makes an instance of magic as easily acceptable as switching on the lights in our homes at night.

		These, however, are a trilogy in the sense that they should be read in that order.
		Lyonesse is a little odd (for Vance) in that it's set in Arthurian times; most of Vance's fantasy works are set in the far future - so far, in fact, that the Sun could sputter out at any moment; hence "The Dying Earth."
		They are all excellent reads, I might add, but I might be slightly biased in that Jack Vance is my all-time favorite author, bar none.
