I personally do not know very much on this subject and will share an excerpt from Wikipedia for a general overview of an extremely complex historical and mythological subject that continues to carry a great deal of controversy: Versions of the original story vary widely, but he is always wounded in the legs or groin and incapable of standing.
In the Arthurian legend, the Fisher King, also known as the Wounded King or Maimed King, is the last in a long bloodline charged with keeping the Holy Grail. Recall that in Book 2 “Perelandra” Ransom suffered a deep bite into his heel from Weston, who was possessed by the devil, and this wound never healed, it was always bleeding and is extremely painful. Ransom is now being referred to as the fisher king which is connected to the Arthurian legend. (Recall Ransom from the first two books “ Out of the Silent Planet” and “ Perelandra.”) Ransom finally comes into the story at this point.
