THE LEGEND
THE LEGEND
As a boy, Arthur pulls a sword from a stone and learns of his birthright.
The boy grows up to become Arthur, King of the Britons.
He marries Guinevere and rules his kingdom from the utopia-like Camelot.
Arthur assembles the top knights of the era around the Round Table. The greatest of these knights -- Lancelot -- betrays his king and friend by having an affair with Guinevere. The results crack the foundations of Arthurian society and ignite war.
After a battle at Camlann and a final confrontation with his illegitimate son, Mordred, Arthur is carried off to Avalon, where he rests until Britain needs him again.
