Camelot.
One day, Merlin tells King Arthur that he is losing his magical powers and that he will have to leave King Arthur. He gives King Arthur a magic sword and tells him not to break the sword; otherwise King Arthur would be nothing.
Three weeks later, King Arthur marries Guinevere. There is a great celebration in the kingdom but Morgan predicts that King Arthur and Guinevere will not be happy. Guinevere gives King Arthur a large round table. King Arthur says only the strongest knights will be able to sit at the table.
King Arthur starts a competition to find the best knights in England. The first contender is Gawain and no one can defeat him. Then, Lancelot arrives and manages to beat Gawain.
Lancelot is named the first knight of the Round Table and soon Arthur and Lancelot become good friends.
During his reign, Arthur travels to the villages to see his people. They are very grateful to him because there is peace, harmony and prosperity.
