The story of King Arthur began in Wales in the fifth century when Uther Pendragon looked for the help of Merlin to convince Ingraine of Cornwall to become his queen.
Merlin succeeded, Uther and Ingraine got married and the king promised to give him their son to be raised as he saw fit. When the son was born, Merlin took him and had baptized him by the name of Arthur.
Problems arose when after a few years Uther got seriously hill and before dying he nominated Arthur as his legitimate heir to the throne. Most of the nobles and knights disagreed and came with their followers to prevent this succession.
Only the appearance of a Mistic Sword allowed Arthur to become king of Britons but not all the nobles accepted him as king and decided to fight him.
It is the purpose of this second volume to relate how King Arthur overcame his enemies and met the princess Guinevere who was solemnly betrothed to him.
