Mordred the warlock and his armies lay siege to Camelot. Uther Pendragon, the king of the Britons, infiltrates Mordred's lair during the attack and beheads him with the help of a unique sword forged by Merlin, saving Camelot. Uther's brother Vortigern--who covets the throne--orchestrates a coup and sacrifices his wife, Elsa, to moat hags to become a Demon Knight. He kills Uther's wife, Igraine and defeats Uther; Uther's son Arthur escapes by boat and ends up in Londinium. Taken in by prostitutes, he becomes a tough and savvy crime boss on the street. However, he is plagued by nightmares of the night that his parents died without seeing who attacked them.
Meanwhile, a mage identifying herself as an acolyte of Merlin presents herself to Uther's former general, Sir Bedivere. At Arthur's planned execution, the mage creates a diversion while Bedivere's men rescue Arthur. Taken to Bedivere's hideout, Arthur (initially) refuses to help them, not believing that he is king. The mage persuades Bedivere to take Arthur to a realm called the "Darklands", where he sees a vision of how the Demon Knight, revealed to be Vortigern, killed his mother. He also witnesses his father sacrifice himself to save Arthur and entomb the sword in stone made of his own body, making him realize that he is indeed the rightful king. Arthur learns Vortigern was responsible for persuading Mordred to attack Camelot, having grown jealous of Uther's popularity and wanting the throne for himself. He builds the tower to increase his own magical powers.
King Arthur : The Sword Master v1.3 Apk
The ballads and romances in which the King Arthur of mediaeval story figures asthe hero, would scarcely prove pleasant and profitable reading to us now,however greatly they delighted our ancestors. They are marked by a coarsenessand crudity which would be but little to our taste. Nor have we anything ofmodern growth to replace them. Milton entertained a purpose of making KingArthur the hero of an epic poem, but fortunately yielded it for the nobler taskof "Paradise Lost." Spenser gives this hero a minor place in his "Fairie Queen."Dry den projected a King Arthur epic, but failed to write it. Eecently Bulwerhas given us a cumbersome "King Arthur," which nobody reads; and Tennyson hashandled the subject brilliantly in his "Idyls of the King," splendid successesas poems, yet too infiltrated with the spirit of modernism to be acceptable as areproduction of the Arthur of romance. For a true rehabilitation of this hero ofthe age of chivalry we must go to the "Morte Darthur "of Sir Thomas Malory, awriter of the fifteenth century, who lived when men still wore armor, and sonear to the actual age of chivalry as to be in full sympathy with the spirit ofits fiction, and its pervading love of adventure and belief in the magical.
Malory did a work of high value in editing the confused mass of earlier fiction,lopping off its excrescences and redundancies, reducing its coarseness ofspeech, and producing from its many storiesand episodes a coherent and continuous narrative, in which the adventures of theRound Table Knights are deftly interwoven with the record of the birth, life,and death of the king, round whom as the central figure all these knightlychampions revolve. Malory seems to have used as the basis of his work perhapsone, perhaps several, old French prose romances, and possibly also materialderived from Welsh and English ballads. Such material in his day was doubtlessabundant. Geoffrey had drawn much of his legendary history from the ancientWelsh ballads. The mass of romantic fiction which he called history becamehighly popular, first in Brittany, and then in France, the Trouveres makingArthur, Lancelot, Tristram, Percival, and others of the knightly circle theheroes of involved romances, in which a multitude of new incidents wereinvented. The Minnesingers of Germany took up the same fruitful theme, producinga "Parzivale," a "Tristan and Isolt," and other heroic romances. From all thismass of material, Malory wrought his "Morte Darthur," as Homer wrought his"Iliad y from the preceding warlike ballads, and the unknown compiler of the"Nibelungenlied" wrought his poem from similar ancient sources.
Malory was not solely an editor. He was in a large sense a creator. It wascoarse and crude material with which he had to deal, but in his hands its rudeprose gained a degree of poetic fervor. The legends which he preserves he has inmany cases transmuted from base into precious coin. There is repulsive matter inthe old romances, which he freely cuts out. To their somewhat wooden heroeshe gives life and character, so that in Lancelot, Gawaine, Dinadan, Kay, andothers we have to deal with distinct personalities, not with thenonindividualized hard-hitters of the romances. And to the whole story he givesan epic completeness which it lacked before. In the early days of Arthur's reignMerlin warns him that fate has already woven its net about him and that the sinsof himself and his queen will in the end bring his reign to a violenttermination, and break up that grand fellowship of the Eound Table which hasmade Britain and its king illustrious. This epic character of Malory's work ispointed out in the article "Geoffrey of Monmouth "in the "EncyclopaediaBritannica," whose writer says that the Arthurian legends "were converted into amagnificent prose poem by Sir Thomas Malory in 1461. Malory's Morte Darthur isas truly the epic of the English mind as the Iliad is the epic of the Greekmind."
Yet the "Morte Darthur "is not easy or attractive reading, to other than specialstudents of literature. Aside from its confusion of events and arrangement, ittells the story of chivalry with a monotonous lack of inflection that is apt togrow wearisome, and in a largely obsolete style and dialect with whosedifficulties readers in general may not care to grapple. Its pages present anendless succession of single combats with spear and sword,whose details are repeated with wearisome iteration. Knights fight furiously forhours together, till they are carved with deep wounds, and the ground crimsonedwith gore. Sometimes they are so inconsiderate as to die, sometimes so weak asto seek a leech, but as often they mount and ride away in philosophicaldisregard of their wounds, and come up fresh for as fierce a fight the next day.
Another knight tried. Then another. But no one could move the sword. Some waited, thinking the longer they pulled the sword, the looser it would get. But when each man took their turn, the sword did not move for them.
Very little is currently known about the magical blade known as the Sword of Fu Xi. However, its wielder, Lin Lie, has already made an impact in the Marvel Universe as Sword Master. Lie has also become one of the new Agents of Atlas, and his mastery of swords makes him a formidable hero beyond the powers of his sword.

King Pellinore arrives to Kay's knighting with news: King Uther Pendragon has died and left no heir. A sword is stuck through an iron anvil and into a stone underneath it, and whoever can pull it out will be the new king of England, and a tournament is planned for any men who want to give it a try. Kay is so excited that, on the day of the tournament, he forgets his sword at the inn and makes Wart go back for it.
On his way, Wart notices a sword stuck in a stone, and unsuccessfully attempts to pull it out. He then notices a group of his animal friends surrounding him. With their encouragement, he pulls the sword out. He brings it back to Kay, who recognizes it as the sword that will determine the next king of England and falsely claims that he was the one who pulled it out. After questioning from Sir Ector, though, Kay admits that it was really Wart. Wart is accepted as king, who is then known as King Arthur.
At the end of the story, Wart goes with Kay to the tournament that will allow men the chance to pull the sword from the stone. Kay forgets his sword and sends Wart to get it, and on his way he finds the stone. He successfully pulls the sword from it and becomes King Arthur, one of the most beloved kings of all time.
King Pellinore arrives at Sir Ector's castle to see Kay knighted and to bring important news. The king, Uther Pendragon, has died, leaving no heir. A mysterious anvil and sword have appeared in London, engraved with 'Whoso Pulleth Out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England'. Men are arriving from all over England for a tournament to try to pull the sword from the stone, so Kay and Ector prepare to leave for London. They will bring Wart along as a squire.
The answer is mostly no because everything we associate with King Arthur from him being a king, to most of the characters of the Round Table, to the sword Excalibur, etc. is all a fabrication. None of it ever existed.
In truth, the Arthur legends are a composite story, coming from many authors over the centuries. One author would introduce the concept of Arthur as a king, then another would introduce the element of the Round Table, and yet another would introduce the sword Excalibur, etc.
Through this experience he is nearly killed by giant spiders and is locked in the dungeons by his father for disobeying him. He only manages to get the antidote to Merlin through the quick thinking of Gwen. (The Poisoned Chalice) Arthur also speaks out for the druid boy Mordred when he is being pursued by Uther. He later helps Merlin and Morgana sneak Mordred out of Camelot after they are caught the first time and return him to his people. (The Beginning of the End) When Nimueh brings his uncle Tristan de Bois, "The Black Knight", back to life Arthur attempts twice to challenge him only for the gauntlet to be picked up by Sir Owain and then Sir Pellinore. After Pellinore is killed Arthur throws down his own gauntlet and challenges Tristan. However Uther has Gaius drug Arthur and fights Tristan himself with a sword intended for Arthur given to him by Merlin. (Excalibur) 2ff7e9595c
