| Tapestry showing Arthur as one of the Nine Worthies. |
- So this is where to whole sword in the stone story begins. "Whoso pulleth out this sword is by right of birth King of England".
- It is really interesting to get this perspective on the King Arthur story. I’ve read a lot of different works about Arthur, like Lanval, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Yvain. I’ve never really gotten this take on it, so I’m excited about it.
- Sir Ector, Sir Kay, and Arthur came to participate in the tournament
- So this is where the storyline from the movie comes from
- It seems interesting that everyone would believe some random inscription on a stone.
- Was Uther Pendragon Arthur’s father in this version of the story? If so, why was he taken away from his real family?
- Sir Kay is seneschal. I wonder if he is good in this version. From what I remember, Kay was not usually portrayed kindly.
- The story sticking with the Pentecost as an important and central event is interesting.
- It is interesting that the story admits that Arthur isn’t perfect and needs some much help
- Is Cameliard a version of Camelot?
- The springs and greenlife are important still
- So there are differing stories about how Arthur got Excalibur
- Arthur agrees to give the Lady of the Lake a rash boon if she will give him the sword.
- Interestingly enough, Merlin tells Arthur that he is not wise.
- Guenevere’s father gave Arthur the round table, which supposedly came from Uther, Arthur’s father.
- Gawaine is Arthur’s nephew, yet his sister’s child is also supposed to be his downfall. Although that is obviously not Gawaine, it is a little vague
