The legend of King Arthur

Once upon a time, a king named Uther ruled Britain. He fell in love with Lady Igraine. But, Lady Igraine was already married to Gorlois. King Uther decided to marry Lady Igraine, so he took his army, fought with Gorlois and killed him. He married his love and they had a son named Arthur.

Because this was a very dangerous time and there was a bloody war in the country, King Uther sent Arthur away to a family in the countryside as a baby. There he lived with his foster brother Kay and foster parents. He was raised as an ordinary village boy and never knew who his real parents were.

When King Uther died, no one knew he had a son. People argued about who would be the next king. Suddenly, a mysterious stone with a sword stuck in it appeared in the yard of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. There was a message on it: Whoever will pull the sword out, will be the rightful king of Britain.

Years later, when Arthur was 15 years old, his foster brother, Kay, had his first knight’s tournament. The family that raised them went to London. It was Arthur’s responsibility to take Kay’s sword, but he had forgotten to take it. So he went to look for one. He found a sword in the stone and took it out easily. When people noticed the sword was gone, they wanted to know who pulled it out. At first no one believed that it was Arthur because he was too young and not strong enough to do it. But later, Arthur was crowned to be the King.
