2-12 "King Arthur"

I read "King Arthur" this time. I felt this name was familir to me and he should be a famouse historical person. I wanted to learn about King Arthur.

In 650 in England. There was no king and people were fighting. One day, Merlin the magician made a magic stone and put a sword in it and said "Only the true king can pll out the sword". The person who pulled it out was a very young boy. He was the boy to be King Arthur. Merlin taught him how to be king and after four years, the boy became good, strong king.

One morning, asoldier visited Arthur and informed that the lords from the North are coming to fight him. Arthur went to fight them with his men and won. One of the losing lords from the North invited Arthur to his castle and he met Guinevera, a daughter of the lord. They liked each other and decided to get married. Arthur built a new castle for his future queen.

Merlin had to leave Arthur because his magic was gone. He couldn't help Arthur anymore. Merlin gave Arthur a magic sword and told him not to break it.

After they got married, they met Lancelot, the strongest knight in the country. He became a good friends of theirs.

One night, Morgan, Arthur's half sister and her son Mordred visited Arthur. They stayed in Arthur's castle for weeks. They were very friendly to Arthur and Guinevera. But one night Arthur had a dream about Merlin. He was warned that Mordred was a bad man in athe dream. Guinevera said not to worry but the dream was right. Mordred wanted to kill Arthur and be the next king. He fought him. Lancelot fought with Arthur too. They lost a lot of soldiers. They killed Mordred but Arthur was dead too. Arthur asked Lancelot to take care of Guinevera. Arthur was taken by Merlin and story ended.

So many things happened to King Arthur.
