Arthur was best known as a great hero, king, and creator of the round table. Upon Arthur's birth he was taken by the wizard Merlin to be raised. Upon the death aof his father the knights were prompted to make King the one who could pull the sword from the stone. Many years went by and many knights tried. Ironically, while searching for a common sword, Arthur pulled the famous Excalibur from the stone. Excalibur was a mighty sword with a scabbard that would prevent the loss of blood in battle. With Merlin's help Arthur was able to bring peace to Britain. With the aid of King Leodegraunce he was able to defeat the Anglo-Saxons.
Death: During the great battle against his nephew Arthur was gravely wounded. While being carried away he had Excalibur returned to the lake; where a hand reached up to catch it. He was then placed on a magic boat to Avalon. "Here lies Arthur, king that was, king that shall be."
