The study that follows originated with the sole intention of investigating the geography of the "Mort Artu" and of the beginning of the Prose "Lancelot". Progress in that fruitful task also revealed probable historical background, which turned out to be of such extensive and varied nature as to give rise to an hypothesis concerning the manner of fabrication of the Cycle. The hypothesis necessarily takes into account the ideologies exhibited in the pseudo-Map Cycle. It is my hope that the readers of this study will discern material valuable, not only in recognizing when, where, and how the Cycle was written, but also in measuring aesthetic and intellectual qualities of the Cycle.
