King Arthur Comic
Storyboard Text
- When Uther, the High-King of Britain, died, no one knew he had a son, because he was sent away after he was born. There were lots of arguing about who should be the next High-King of Britain. Suddenly, a mysterious stone magically appeared in the churchyard of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Sticking out of it was a huge sword. There was a message on it. It said that whoever pulled the sword from the stone was the rightful High-King of Britain. Lots of the local kings tried, but with no success.
- Years later, Arthur has grown into a 15-year-old lad. At his older foster-brother Kay's first tournament, he forgot Kay's sword. So he went off to look for one. He found the sword in the stone and pulled it out easily. Arthur gave the sword to Kay, and Kay noticed the message. Everyone wanted to know who has pulled the sword from the stone. At first, no one believed that Arthur had done it, but he repeated what he had done, and everyone was amazed.
- Arthur was crowned king, but the 11 local kings did not agree to him being High-King. So, they started a rebellion. Merlin the Wizard helped King Arthur to rule Britain. He took him to a magical lake. The Lady of the Lake lived there beneath the water. She gave Arthur a magic sword called ‘Excalibur’.
- Excalibur was kept in a magic scabbard. If you used Excalibur in a fight, you would always defeat your opponent. If you had the scabbard, you would always be protected from being hurt yourself. Arthur led a big army against the 11 rebel kings. There were many battles, but Arthur had Excalibur, so he won. The kings agreed that Arthur should be High-King.
- Arthur set up his Royal palace at Camelot. When Arthur was a bit older, he married a princess named Guinevere. As a wedding present, her father gave them a huge round table. All the knights in the country wanted to be soldiers for King Arthur. The bravest of them were allowed to sit at the round table. They were known as the ‘Knights of the Round Table’. Because it was round, the positions of all the seats were equal. No one could say they were more important because they sat at the end.
- Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table fought against the Saxons in many battles. They finally defeated them at the Battle of Mount Badon.
