[on-line] http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Geoffrey_of_Monmouth, 14. Mar. 2009. Annotated Bibliography Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia is a free, web-based, multilingual encyclopedia that everyone can access, and that can be edited and <strong>written</strong> by whomever wi<strong>she</strong>s <strong>to</strong> do so. It is <strong>written</strong> in collaboration among volunteers around <strong>the</strong> world, and <strong>the</strong>re are administra<strong>to</strong>rs who edit, censor, delete and report articles every day. Articles, or parts of it, that are improper or incorrect are removed or marked as «in need of tidying-up». Wikipedia has, however, no quality assurance, and <strong>the</strong>re is always information and articles that haven't been edited. Eg. In Oc<strong>to</strong>ber last year, a Wikipedia-article about cellular respiration said that it <strong>was</strong> unwise <strong>to</strong> keep plants in one's bedroom, as <strong>the</strong>y during <strong>the</strong> nighttime transform oxygen in<strong>to</strong> carbon dioxide. The articles vary a lot in quality and reliability, but <strong>the</strong> source can be used if it is used critically and with care. Kelly, E. S., (14 March 2009), Your Inner Goddess: <strong>Morgan</strong> <strong>Le</strong> <strong>Fay</strong>, http://www.yourinnergoddess.net/Morrigan-Morgaine-<strong>Morgan</strong>-<strong>Le</strong>-<strong>Fay</strong>.html The website is created by a private person, Erynn Shea Kelly, and it is created <strong>to</strong> put out and show us <strong>the</strong> ancient, or more modern, goddesses from mythology, legends, myths and fairytales, as well as <strong>to</strong> honour women and <strong>the</strong> female spirit in general. This makes <strong>the</strong> website quite a bit subjective, and even though it portays itself as serious and well- informed, in addition <strong>to</strong> being familiar with all of <strong>the</strong>se ancient sources, it is not hard <strong>to</strong> see that some information is facts, and o<strong>the</strong>rs are just nonsense. It is a source that one must be critical <strong>to</strong>wards, as it shows only a mere piece of <strong>the</strong> <strong>woman</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> <strong>Le</strong> <strong>Fay</strong>. Clegg, D., (05. Mar. 2009), Mordred, Bastard Son, http://www.douglasclegg.com/mordred.html Clegg's book is a book about Mordred, <strong>the</strong> man who betrayed King Arthur, wounded him deadly, and got killed himself, according <strong>to</strong> many legends. Douglas Clegg has <strong>written</strong> a book based upon <strong>the</strong> rumour that tells us that <strong>Morgan</strong> <strong>Le</strong> <strong>Fay</strong> and King Arthur were, incidentally, <strong>the</strong> parents of Mordred. Clegg writes at http://www.douglasclegg.com/: To not take an accepted tale at face value, but <strong>to</strong> explore <strong>the</strong> complexity of a fascinating individual's life -- and <strong>to</strong> dispel <strong>the</strong> myths created by only one version of <strong>the</strong> tale of his existence?
Appendix The sources that I can find mentioning King Arthur, The Knights of The Round Table, Merlin, <strong>Morgan</strong> <strong>Le</strong> <strong>Fay</strong>, etc. are not reliable sources, as in sources that have a basis in scientific studies. They are also often contradic<strong>to</strong>ry, that is, <strong>the</strong>y claim <strong>to</strong> tell <strong>the</strong> truth, and when someone writes <strong>the</strong> excact opposite, who <strong>to</strong> believe? Geoffrey of Monmouth <strong>was</strong> a pseudohis<strong>to</strong>rian and in <strong>the</strong> same way that Nostradamus <strong>was</strong> a fortune teller, Geoffrey of Monmouth has <strong>written</strong> <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ry as he sees it. Still, many o<strong>the</strong>r books (upon <strong>the</strong> subject) rest on Geoffrey of Monmouth's works, and <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong>y will all be included as sources here, though, not scholarly. Even <strong>the</strong> most extreme opinions have <strong>to</strong> be comprised, as <strong>the</strong>y are also opinions and views.
