A sword waits in a stone, while a country without a strong ruler suffers.
In Mary Macgregor’s Stories of King Arthur’s Knights, Told to the Children, a boy draws that sword and becomes king. Guided by Merlin, Arthur builds a fellowship sworn to protect the weak. Queen Guinevere brings the Round Table to Camelot, where no knight sits above another.
Beyond the court, quests lead through forests and across rivers. Gareth hides his royal rank and must earn trust through patience and courage. Launcelot rides to help those in need, while Galahad takes up the search for the Holy Grail. Yet pride, jealousy and love strain the promises that hold Arthur’s kingdom together.
What you’ll discover
- The sword and the king Follow Arthur from boyhood toward the burden of ruling and protecting others.
- A place at the table Enter a court where a round table gives every knight an equal seat.
- Courage without a title Meet Gareth, who works in the kitchen and lets his deeds reveal his worth.
- Strength joined with gentleness Ride with Launcelot as he uses his skill to help people in need.
- The Holy Grail quest Follow knights seeking the sacred cup that Arthurian legend connects with the Last Supper.

Un latigazo en la mejilla lleva a Geraint hasta Enid
El primer relato comienza cuando la reina Ginebra se queda dormida y se pierde la cacería real. Va a caballo con su joven doncella hasta una colina para ver pasar a los cazadores. El príncipe Geraint se une a ellas. Del bosque salen una dama, un caballero y un enano. La reina quiere saber cómo se llama el caballero.
El enano azota a la doncella y, cuando Geraint se acerca a preguntar, le da un latigazo en la mejilla. Pide permiso para seguir al caballero y exigirle una disculpa.

¿De qué trata Historias de los caballeros del rey Arturo?
Es un conjunto de 6 relatos sobre los caballeros de Camelot: Geraint y Enid, Lanzarote y Elena, Pelleas y Ettarde, Gareth y Lynette, Galaad y el Santo Grial, y la última batalla del rey Arturo.
¿De dónde proceden estas historias?
Mary Macgregor dice que la mayoría procede del libro en inglés de sir Thomas Malory, escrito más de 400 años antes de su época. Geraint y Enid procede de los antiguos relatos galeses sobre los caballeros de Arturo.
¿Quién es la Doncella de los Lirios de Astolat?
Es Elena, la hija del barón de Astolat. Los habitantes del lugar le dan ese nombre porque pasa junto a sus jardines vestida de blanco, tan alta, grácil y pura como los lirios.
