The Legend of King Arthur
In England, in the fifth century, there was a king called Uther. Uther had no heir. Thus, when he died, England was left without a king. To choose the king of England, Merlin the Wizard put a sword named Excalibur into a stone. Many men tried to remove the sword, but they all failed. Arthur Pendragon, Uther’s unknown son, succeeded - he became the King.
