(Lesson 7: A king’s Tale)

Many hundreds of years ago England was ruled by a King called Uther-Pendragon. The King, who was friend and protector to all his people, was fair to everyone. The people of Britain lived in peace and happiness, tending their flocks and tilling their fields.
King Uther-Pandragon had married the beautiful lady Igraine, and had a son. This child was, the heir to the royal throne.
The king and the queen died soon after the baby boy was born. It was a difficult time. Many of the Kings opponents were looking to seize the throne. King Uther-Pendragon had two wise counsellors-Merlin a prophet and a magician, and the brave knight, Sir Ulfius. They were greatly trusted by the royal family. When the King and the queen were no more, the two counsellors met Sir Ector the Trustworthy, a royal subject of the king, on a cold and windy midnight.
