Astolat


Astolat (/ˈæstlˌæt, -ˌɑːt/) is a legendary city of Great Britain named in Arthurian legends. It is the home of Elaine, "the lily maid of Astolat", and of her father Sir Bernard and her brothers Lavaine and Tirre.

The city is called Shalott in many cultural references, derived from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott". It is also named Ascolat in the Winchester Manuscript and Escalot in the French Arthurian romances.

Chapter nine of Sir Thomas Malory's book Le Morte d'Arthur identifies Guildford in Surrey with the legendary Astolat:
