Young Arthur In the year 493, Uther Pendragon became King of Britain. He had a counselor named Merlin. Merlin was also a magician. When King Uther ‘s son Arthur was born, Merlin said, ‘Your son Must grow up away from the court. it is safer!’ Merlin gave the baby son to Sir Ector and his wife. They raised him well.

Call all the noblemen of the kingdom. Tell them to meet at the great church in London on Christmas Day. There, God will show us the new king.’ On Christmas Day, all the noblemen were in the great church. Outside the church there was a big stone with a sword in it. These words were written on the big stone: He who pulls the sword of this stone is the true king of Britain.
