The story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table has been popular in Europe
for more than a thousand years.

The Knights in England wanted
to choose a new king. They found a huge stone with a sword in it. There was
golden writing on the sword which said:
«The man who can pull the sword out of the stone will
be king».

All the knights tried to pull the sword from the stone, but none of them could do it. Arthur was a young
boy at the time, but he pulled
the sword from the stone and became king.

Arthur lived in the castle of Camelot,
with Queen Guinevere. In the castle there was a
round table, which was made
by Merlin, the magician. All the
knights sat around the round table. The most famous knights
were Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain and
Sir Galahad.

The knights had many adventures.
They killed dragons and

Before he died, he gave his
magic sword, Excalibur, to his
friend Sir Bedwere. He
told Sir Bedwere to
throw the sword into a lake. A
woman’s hand came out of the
water and caught the
sword.

Three beautiful
queens took Arthur’s body
away in a boat to the

save Britain.
