KING ARTHUR

FACTS AND TRIVIAS

FACTS
Arthur was born as the result of
Uther Pendragon, then King of
England, taking his mother,
Ingraine, against her will. He was
given to Sir Ector by Merlyn to
raise.
Merlyn was King Arthur's
boyhood tutor, he’s really cool. He
lived backwards in time, growing
younger as time went forwards.
'Wart' was derived from 'Art', short
for 'Arthur'.
the first animal Arthur was turned
into by his tutor in order to learn
more about life was a fish.
He was turned into a fish and went
for a swim in the moat.
'The Sword in the Stone'.Made
Arthur a King.

Queen Guinevere of
Camelot is King Arthur's wife
she is pretty, smart,
adulteress.
Guenever had an affair with
Arthur's best knight, Sir
Lancelot.
The Orkney clan of knights was composed of
the brothers Sir Gawaine, Sir Agravaine, Sir
Gaheris, Sir Gareth, and Sir Mordred. The first
four were sons of King Lot and Queen
Morgause. Sir Mordred was the son of King
Arthur and Morgause, his half-sister (he was
drunk and didn't know he was committing
incest).
Unicorn is the legendary animal did the above
brothers (except Mordred) kill when they were
children to please their mother?

They used a virgin as bait for the unicorn. Unicorns

come and lay their heads on the virgin's lap, while
the virgin holds its horn, keeping it pacified, while the
hunters leap out and kill it.
King Arthur send most of his
knights to find the HOLY GRAIL
in order to prevent fighting
among the knights of the
Round Table The quest for the
Holy Grail. A great Monty
Python movie, by the way.
Sir Lancelot was the best knight
in the world. Rarely was he ever
beaten in anything. When he
was beaten, it was usually 3
against 1
Galahad Lancelot Dulac (his
full name) was from France.

Elaine got her butler to get
Lancelot drunk so she could
have him all night long.
Galahad, named for his father,
was Lancelot and Elaine's son.
Sir Lancelot was incredibly ugly. I
can't figure out why so many
women wanted him. Maybe it was
because he could beat the crap out
of anyone.
the actual number of knights
said to have sat around the
table was 150.
Although all 150 knights of the Round Table went in
search of the grail - the cup or platter used by Christ
at the Last Supper - only three succeeded.
These were Sir Galahad, Sir Percival and Sir Bors.
Many of the knights were said to have died during
their quest for the grail.
After the battle at Camlann, Sir Bedivere threw the
king's sword back into the water where it had first
been given to him by the Lady of the Lake.
In one of the best-known scenes from the Arthurian
legend, a hand then emerged from the lake and
grabbed the sword, dragging it underwater.
Vivien killed Merlin because she was a powerful sorceress
who wanted to gain his knowledge and power for herself.
She tricked Merlin into teaching her his magic and then
used her newfound abilities to trap him in a cave, where he
eventually died. Vivien's jealousy and desire for power
ultimately led to Merlin's demise.
