Just another point of view

Greetings to the members of this fine round table,

Sir Thomas Malory's accounts are interesting to say the least.

King Uther, with the help of Merlin, laid with Igraine and that night conceived a child, which later is named Arthur (yes, king arthur). But we knew this already. What we didn't know though was that Uther and Igraine's husband did not like each other. I don't see how this would excuse his behavior though, especially since her husband had just died hours before Uther laid with her. That's pretty rude if you ask me, I mean her husband just died, give her some space.

I enjoyed learning more about the sword in the stone. I found it rather amusing that Arthur could pull the sword out with no issue, but when it was returned to the stone, Sir Kay could not pull it out with all of his might. This gives us that nostalgic "fairy tale" feeling that we have been getting only glimpses of as we read these tales. 

isn't is beautiful?

One other part of this reading that struck me as odd was the part when Morgan le Fay gives Arthur a sword and scabbard that were false, which almost killed him in his battle against Accolon of Gaul. It was Accolon who had the excalibur and used it against Arthur. Morgan is Arthur's half sister, why is she trying to have him killed? If I was Arthur, I would have been pissed. She switched his sword!

what i imagine arthur was thinking when he realized what morgan had done

Until next time,
