Medieval Europe

The legends of Camelot and King Arthur

Uther and Igraine, the king and queen of England

gave birth to a son named Arthur.

At the time of the young princes birth,

Saxon attacks were common. King Uther

wanted to ensure his sons safety so he

entrusted him to a wizard named Merlin.

Merling sent Arthur to the countryside

to be raised by Sir Ector. He was never

informed about his royal blood.

When Uther passed away, nobody knew that

Arthur was heir to the throne and there was a lot

of arguing about who should become the new

king.

One day a stone was discovered in St. Pauls Cathedral.

A large sword was sticking out of it. It explained that only

the true king would be able to retrieve it. Many attempted to

pull the sword out of the stone but nobody could succed. It

still hadn't been established who would take the throne.

When Arthur was 15, he went with his family to London in order to watch

his brother fight in a tournament. It was Arthurs responsibility to bring his

brother's sword and he forgot. He rrwas punished and ordered to obtain a new

one. He came across the sword in the stone and pulled it out effortlessly.

Everyone was shocked when they found out that Arthur was the rightful

king of England.

A rebellion was started by local kings who did not want to serve a 15 year old boy.

Merlin served as the kings trusty advisor and helped him in his rein. He took him to the 'lady of the lake'. She presented Arthur with a magical stone called 'Excalibur' and guaranteed that it would bring him victory in any battle. Eventually Arthur defeated the rebel allegiance and the local kings accepted his leadership.

Arthur recieved a round table as a wedding present when he married princess Guinevere. The bravest knights in the country feasted here and became known as 'The Knights of the Round Table'.

The Knights of the

round table

Arthur's castle was constructed

in Camelot.
