Chapter Five: Arthur meets Guinevere
A lot of enemies tried to invade Britain: the Saxons, the Jutes, the Pitts and others.
A big army of Saxons attacked King Leodegrance in his castle. He was the King of Cameliard. Young King Arthur and his knights fought against these Saxons and won.
King Leodegrance was very thankful① to Arthur. He invited him and his knights to a royal banquet②. At the banquet, Arthur met the King's daughter, Princess Guinevere. Guinevere was young and very beautiful. Arthur fell in love with her. He wanted to marry her.
Merlin wasn't happy with Arthur's choice③, but he accepted his king's decision.
King Leodegrance, Guinevere's father, was very happy about this marriage. "I am honoured④ to give my daughter to our courageous king!" said Guinevere's father. "My gift to King Arthur is the Round Table, which belonged to his father, King Uther."
Arthur and Guinevere were married. There was an enormous⑤ banquet. Everyone in the kingdom was happy.
Guinevere arrived at King Arthur's castle with her ladies and the Round Table. The enormous Round Table had places for 150 knights. Arthur called the best knights of Britain to sit at the Round Table. Only the bravest knights were part of Arthur's court.
