The Winning of Kinghood

The book begins by telling how young Arthur pulled a sword out of an anvil, how he learned of his royal lineage, and how he thus became king.

The Winning of a Sword

King Arthur loses to his enemy, King Pellinore. Merlin advises Arthur to seek Excalibur. The Lady of the Lake instructs Arthur on how to earn the sword, and, following her instructions, he takes Excalibur. He then meets Pellinore again, and with Excalibur's magic, he wins against him. The two thereafter make amends and become friends.

The Duke torments the people of Cameliard by parading in front of the castle, calling for someone to challenge him and his men.
