How does arthur obtain his sword




















At first, the tale say that Mordred was the son of King Lot and Morgawse in chapter 4. According to the Vulgate version, Arthur was not the king when he slept with his half-sister. Neither knew they were related. Among them, was King Lot, who came with his wife and sons.

Arthur fell in love with Morgawse, and when one night when the king went to meet the other barons at the Black Cross, Arthur entered her room and lay on the bed. Morgawse thinking that her husband had returned, embrace Arthur. They made love, where Mordred was conceived. The next day, Arthur revealed the truth to Morgawse. Morgawse, who had thought she was faithfully making love to her husband, was shock at the news, but they both made a pact to never reveal of her shame of committing adultery.

It was at the time, when Morgawse was about to give birth, when news that her brother was crowned king of Logres. It is not know how she knew that Arthur was her own brother, but this revelation of her kinship was not known until Gawain was old enough to become knight. But he was probably aware of both, later in his life. Arthur also meets his mother, Igraine and his other sister, Morgan le Fay , for the first time [Book I, chapter 21].

Merlin had taken him away from his parents at birth, and was brought up by foster-father, Sir Anton or Ector. Arthur had a dream where he sees the Questing Beast. Well, according to the theories I have gathered, the Questing Beast represent the mortal sin committed by Arthur, when he had unwittingly slept with his half-sister, Morgawse, wife of King Lot and mother of Gawain.

King Pellenan, the Maimed King explained about its origin to the Grail hero, Galahad , after the Saracen knight, Palemedes , had slain the monster. There was a daughter of King Hipomenus of Logres? The princess was the fairest in the land at that time, as well as being wise and intelligent. She had mastered the seven arts, including that of necromancy.

The princess fell in desperate love with her own brother also unnamed , who was most handsome of men. Her brother was a devout Christian and he wanted to remain chaste.

So when the brother found out about her secret desire for him, he rebuked her. But a demon visited her definitely a incubus, perhaps the Devil himself , who wanted to weave destruction upon the House of Hipomenus. The moment the princess copulate with the demon, all love and desire vanished from her. The demon convinced her to destroy her brother, and she followed his plan as the incubus had given it.

The brother became angry with his sister, beat her a few times before she screamed for help. Hipomenus and his guards found them in compromising position. His daughter accused her brother of raping her weeks ago, because she suspected that she was already pregnant, so everyone would blame her brother.

When Hipomenus heard this, the king had his own son thrown in dungeon. The king ordered that his son would be maul to death in pit full of starving dogs. The king had the dogs fasted for seven days. Since his death would be from the hungry dogs, she would given birth to a monster, who would bark like these dogs, known as the Questing Beast.

The brother also foretold that beast will kill many men and women as it roamed throughout the kingdom of Logres. Only when the Good Knight joined the hunt could stop the evil creature. The hounds tore him to pieces and devoured him.

Hipomenus had his pregnant daughter cared for, by the ladies of the palace. It immediately killed and devoured many ladies, except for its mother and one of the ladies.

The Questing Beast fled from the castle, visiting death and destruction on anyone the monster come across. When the king realised the truth that his son was innocent, he had his daughter seized and tortured until she revealed the whole truth. Then the king had his daughter die in a death worse than her brother. The great knight, King Pellinor , father of the heroes Lamorat Lamorak and Perceval , was the first hunter of the Questing Beast, but he died before he could complete his quest.

Then around the time of Grail quest, it was Palemedes, the Saracen hero, who would eventually slay the monster, with the help of Galahad. See the New Sword , where Arthur encountered Pellinor. Malory described the creature as have a head like a snake, body of a leopard, buttocks of a lion and foot like a hart. The belly of the Questing Beast made sound like that of thirty couples of starving hounds. Arthur tried to avert his fate, by imprisoning all child born on the month of May. Merlin told the king he could not possibly changed the future.

That month, Arthur had ordered the children within Logres gathered at the tower, without revealing the true nature of his plan. There were infants taken to the tower. Among them was the son of Arthur and Morgawse, that was christened Mordred. On the island of Orkney, Lot sent Mordred by ship to Arthur, with some ladies and his men. A storm broke out at sea, before it reached Logres, killing everyone on board, except for one infant in the cradle.

The cradle floated to the nearest shore, where it was found by a fisherman. The fisherman decided to give the child in the care of Duke Nabur the Unruly, because the cloth that covered the infant, was a sign of royalty. Duke Nabur was already a father of Sagremor , who was born over a month ago. Nabur decided to raised the child with his own son. Back at the tower, Arthur was contemplating murdering the infants. Arthur had a vision where a man rebuke the king for wanting to save his own skin by killing innocent children.

Arthur decided to placed all the babies in an unmanned ship and set it adrift into the open sea. Jesus taking pity on the children, sent the ship to the Amalvi, belonging to King Orians. Orians had a new castle built on the remote island to hide the children from Arthur. Merlin spoke of his prophecy that one of the children would destroy the kingdom. Merlin assured the barons that the children were all safe and they would be reunited with them ten years from now.

When King Lot found out, he decided to declare war on Arthur. Lot joined King Rion as ally against Arthur. Pellinor , Palemedes , Galahad. The sword that Arthur had drew from a stone, which indicated that he was the true king of Logres Britain , was not the true Excalibur.

They also saw a hand holding a beautiful sword, raised out of the water, in the middle of the lake. The lady informed Arthur that the sword belonged to her. She would give the sword to Arthur only if the young king grant her a gift or boon in return. Arthur promised the Lady of the Lake that he would.

Arthur and Merlin took a boat to the middle of the lake. Arthur took the sword from the hand. The hand immediately disappeared into the water.

Merlin asked the king if he like the sword or the scabbard better. Arthur preferred the sword. The sheath was worth ten times that of Excalibur. Arthur gave a large portion of land to his half-sister, including the castle Taruc.

Upon their wedding night, lay with her, who conceived Yvain. Rion had conquered 11 kingdoms, taking beard from each conquered ruler. Arthur rebuked the messenger, and beside that Arthur was still young enough to not have a beard. Caliburn, Caliburnus. Sources Suite du Merlin from Post-Vulgate cycle c. It caused excitement in the hall, because no lady has a sword girded to her before. She was distressed, because she could not undo the clasps of the swordbelt, nor draw the sword from the sheath Sword of the Strange Clasps.

The Lady told them that only a knight, who is pure of heart, could draw the sword, and thereby undoing the sword-belt. The knight must be the best; he must also be loyal and free of treachery. She also told them that anyone, who unsheathes the sword, must return the sword to her. Arthur was the first to try to unsheathe the sword, but the king could not so much as draw a hairsbreadth of the blade out of the scabbard, no matter how much force he exerted.

If the sword from the stone breaking is thought true, the replacement from the lake is needed. If you want to believe all the legends, the existence of two swords is a requirement. As the magical sword of King Arthur, Excalibur has appeared in a number of modern films, television series and video games.
