The Legendary King Arthur

According to British legends, Arthur, the son of King Uther Pendragon, was hidden away as a
boy, so he would be safe from enemies. He was recognized as a king only after he pulled a
magical sword out of a stone. Arthur was a Briton. He came from a people who ruled much of
England before Saxons invaded from Germany. As king, Arthur gathered great knights to help
him fight the Saxons – the famous Knights of the Round Table. Arthur's castle, Camelot, was a
model society. The knights were true and noble, the king was powerful but fair, and the people
were treated well.

Over time, countless legends built up around Arthur's glorious court. Arthur's beautiful wife,
Queen Guinevere, and his most trusted knight, Sir Lancelot, are the lead characters in many of
these legends. Besides fighting Saxons, the knights, and sometimes the king himself, went on
quests. These were difficult journeys meant to accomplish a noble deed. The most famous was the
Quest for the Holy Grail, a magical cup with great religious meaning. Many knights, including
Lancelot, tried but failed to find the grail. Sir Galahad eventually found it, his reward for living a
pure and holy life. Other quests involved such good deeds as rescuing prisoners, killing monsters,
and driving away evil wizards.

The great days of Camelot ended after King Arthur discovered that Queen Guinevere had a love
affair with Sir Lancelot. To enforce the law, Arthur was forced to punish his dear friend and his
beloved wife. The Knights of the Round Table left Camelot and went their separate ways.
Eventually, Arthur went into battle against a former knight of Camelot, Sir Mordred. In some
versions of the legend, both Arthur and Mordred are killed. In others, Arthur does not actually
die, but is taken to the magical island of Avalon. There he waits for a chance to return and re-
establish Camelot.
