🏰 The Story
The story begins with Merlin foretelling Arthur’s birth and the young king’s miraculous drawing of the sword Excalibur from the stone. From there unfold the adventures of the Round Table — the founding of Camelot, the love of Arthur and Guinevere, the exploits of Sir Lancelot, the quest of Sir Galahad for the Holy Grail, and the tragic downfall of Arthur’s kingdom.
Along the way we meet Sir Balin who strikes the Dolorous Stroke, Sir Beaumains who proves himself the equal of any knight, Sir Tristram whose love for Isolde rivals Lancelot’s, and Sir Gawain whose loyalty to Arthur endures to the very end. Each knight’s tale weaves into the larger tapestry of Camelot’s rise and fall.
