King Arthur: A British Legend.

1. The story of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table is probably one of Britain's
most famous legends. No one knows if the story is true. Some people believe that King Arthur
lived in Britain hundreds of years ago.
2. The Lady of the Lake gave Arthur's father his famous sword, Excalibur. It was a
beautiful sword, covered with jewels. Excalibur was the best sword in the world. The legend
says that Arthur became King after pulling the sword out of the stone. He became a brave and
well-loved king, helped by Merlin, a wizard who could perform magic.
3. Arthur lived in a castle called Camelot. He fell in love with Princess Guinevere. She was
the daughter of King Leodegrance and she was very beautiful and clever. Guinevere became
Arthur's wife. As a wedding present, King Leodegrance gave Arthur the Round Table.
The table was huge: it could seat a hundred knights. The legs were thick and carved with
birds, animals, leaves and flowers. Around the table there were beautiful seats with the names
of each knight on the back. Arthur's favourite knight was Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot's son , Sir
Galahad, was the bravest knight in the world.
4. Arthur's enemies were Morgan Le Fay, his half-sister, and Mordred, her son. After
many battles, it was Mordred who finally killed Arthur. Before Arthur died, he asked one of
his knights to throw Excalibur back into the lake. As the knight threw the sword, a hand came
up from the lake to catch it.
5. The Lady of the Lake took Arthur away to the Isle of Avalon. Some people say that he
didn't die! They say that he is sleeping in a cave until Britain needs him again to rescue its
people from danger.
