Chapter One: Young Arthur 

In the year 493, Uther Pendragon became King of Britain. He had a counsellor① named Merlin. Merlin was also a magician②.

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 raised③ him well.

When King Uther died in 509, Britain had no king. The country had many problems.

Merlin went to the Archbishop of Canterbury④ and said, "Britain must have a king. We must find one. 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 out of this stone is the true King of Britain.
