As a lad of only sixteen years, Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and thus became High King of all Britain. But scarcely has he begun to arrange his court when twelve of the country's lesser kings, jealous of Arthur's glory, declare war on him. In this, the second volume of his Tales of King Arthur series, Hudson Talbott masterfully retells the saga of Arthur's early days as leader of Britain, his building of Camelot, and the dedication of the Round Table--a unique brotherhood of knights devoted to unity and peace.

The tales of King Arthur and his Knights are of Celtic origin. The Celts were the people who occupied Britain at the time when the history of the country opens, and a few words are necessary to explain why the characters in the stories act and speak as though they belonged to a later age. It is believed that King Arthur lived in the sixth century, just after the Romans withdrew from Britain, and when the Britons, left to defend themselves against the attacks of the marauding Saxons, rose and defeated them at Mount Badon, securing to themselves peace for many years. It was probably about this time that King Arthur and his company of Knights performed the deeds which were to become the themes of stories and lays for generations afterwards. In olden times, it was the custom of minstrels and story-tellers to travel through the land from court to court, telling of tales of chivalry and heroism, and for many centuries the tales of King Arthur formed the stock from which the story-teller drew. In this way the stories came to be handed down from father to son, in Brittany (whose people are of the same family as the Welsh) as well as in Wales and England, and by this means alone were they prevented from being lost. But in the reigns of Henry II. and Richard I., they were set down on paper, and so became literature. Before this, however, a British writer had written out some of the tales, and from him as well as from the lips of the bards and story-tellers of their own generation, the writers in the time of Henry II. were able to collect their information. vi Now, it will be remembered that the second and third crusades were being carried on during the reigns of Henry II. and Richard I., and many English and French Knights were therefore fighting in the fields of Palestine. The story-teller, whose living depended on the welcome his stories met with, instead of telling them according to tradition, altered them to suit the tastes of his hearers.

Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table (1485) is a collection of tales about the legendary English King Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. A collection of stories, there is no over-arching narrative structure. The stories begin with the tale of the English King Uther, who has fallen in love with Igrayne, the beautiful wife of one of his vassals. Uther asks his adviser, the wizard Merlin, to assist him in seducing Igrayne. Merlin casts a powerful spell and Uther appears to Igrayne as her husband, and they have sex. Igrayne becomes pregnant and gives birth to a boy, Arthur. Merlin takes Arthur away, hiding him among the household of another of Uther's vassals, Sir Ector. Years later, young Arthur travels to the Sword in the Stone, where an inscription promises that whoever can pull the sword free shall become King of England. Arthur pulls the sword free and is proclaimed king. There is some resistance initially, but after a short time, Arthur is crowned. However, almost immediately a formal rebellion breaks out in the north, led by King Lot of Orkney, who is Arthur's uncle. One of Arthur's loyal knights, Sir Pellynore, meets Lot in a duel and kills him, ending the rebellion. To make peace, Arthur marries Lady Gwenyvere. As part of her dowry, she brings a roundtable with room for 150 knights. Arthur populates his newly founded Fellowship of the Round Table with 149 men, leaving one spot open. Arthur receives word from the Emperor of Rome, Lucius, who demands a tribute from the new English King. Arthur takes counsel with his advisers, who urge him to march on Rome to make war. Arthur decides to do so; defeating the Emperor in battle, he is proclaimed Emperor in his place. As Arthur returns from the war, he claims every place he passes through as part of his empire. Some of Arthur's knights have been captured by a rogue knight, Sir Tarquin. Sir Lancelot, a knight whose reputation as a gallant and successful adventurer is unmatched, arrives, setting them free. A young man arrives at Arthur's court, taking work as a kitchen worker. He engages in a series of duels with knights, however, and wins each one, proving himself to be of much better skill. He gains a wife, and then reveals himself to Arthur as Sir Gareth, Arthur's nephew. Later, the knight Sir Tristram falls in love with Isolde. His uncle, jealous, marries her instead, forcing Tristram to ask for her hand on his behalf. Tristram kidnaps Isolde and lives with her for a while, but returns her to his uncle, as it is the right thing to do. His uncle rewards this by killing him. King Arthur determines to go on a quest for The Holy Grail. All of his Knights of the Round Table wish to glimpse this holy relic, which supposedly has miraculous healing powers. Only knights who are pure of heart and chaste in morals are able to perceive the Grail. Sir Lancelot, acknowledged as the best of all the knights, realizes that his pursuit of glory in the mortal realm has left the Grail blocked to him. He leaves off the quest but redeems himself when he saves Queen Gwenyvere from being framed for murder. The Queen and the Knights of the Round Table are devastated. Gwenyvere tells Lancelot she believes their sin doomed Arthur. She joins a nunnery, and Lancelot and the other knights go into monasteries. When Gwenyvere dies, Lancelot tenderly buries her next to her husband, then passes away himself. However, legends persist that Arthur is not truly dead; rather he was taken at the moment of death and kept there, sleeping, and will return at the time of England's greatest need. A new King is declared.

This classic fifteenth-century chronicle of King Arthur and his knights is the essential interpretation of Arthurian legend in the English language. Full of adventure, magic, and romance, these are the timeless tales of Arthur, the great warrior king of Britain; his loyal knight Lancelot; the beautiful Queen Guinevere; and the mysterious Merlin. Based on French Arthurian romances reaching back to the twelfth century, Sir James Knowles’s narrative tells of the goings-on at Camelot, epic battles against invading Saxon enemies, and Arthur’s quest for the Holy Grail, among many other exciting events. Sometimes published as Le Morte d’Arthur, these accounts of chivalry and daring escapades have inspired generations of storytellers, from the Romantic poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson to T. H. White, author of The Once and Future King, from American satirist Mark Twain to British comedy troupe Monty Python.
