What is the Stroy of Arthurs Birth?

Geofrey claims to have used an ancient text, so we cant really read it. This doesnt mean that Arthur doesnt exist. Historians have found no evidence that such text ever existed. Geffery was the first known source to add Uther, Igrain. Uther Pendragon makes a tense peace wiht Gorlois.

He becomes a King and if you read on you will learn about how he became a kinga and how he dies and the story of his death. I hope you enjoy my Blog!(:

Who did Arthur Marry & Who Tried to Take His Thrown?

Modred, Arthur's son, told everyone that Arthur was dead. Then forced his wife, Ganhumana, into marriage. After Arthur heard the word he raced home. Then he fought Modred and killed him. But when he was still alive he stabbed Arthur in the belly.

People believe the story is Fiction some believe non-fiction. We will never know if he was either. All we can do is try to collect more information. They must have written it down somewhere. Well anyway that is who tried to take over Arthur's kingdom, But he kind of failed.

How did Arthur become a King?

Remember that old story about the strong people who came form near and far that tried to pull the sword out of the stone? Well that is how Arthur became King. He was a small boy from the town right by the palace, the old King said who ever can pull this sword out of this stone will be the next great King. Many people from everywhere near and far came to try for the rule of the kingdom.Many people had strong arms. But Arthur was just a small weak village boy.

Arthur pulled the sword out on his first tug. People told him he couldn't do it. but he showed them wrong. he pulled the sword out with no fight at all. Then the king cam down and gave him the crown. I would imagine him cheering for Arthur since he wanted to give up his thrown for someone who pulled a sword out of a stone.

How did King Arthur Die?

King Arthur's son, Modred, were fighting and King Arthur stabbed Modred in the heart. After Modred was stabbed he thrust his sword into Arthur's side. Then he told knight to throw his sword into the lake. His friend did not want to because the sword came from the stone and was very valuable. So he hid it in a cave. then he went to Arthur and Arthur asked him if he threw it in the sea. The knight said yes but Arthur knew he had failed so he sent him to try again. This time the knight threw it as far as he could. then the lady of the Lake caught it and said that one day Arthur would be reincarnated.

before he died he Married a women named Ganhumana. They had a son named Moderd, who killed his own father. Would you want to live in a world like this. I know i wouldn't. Arthur died by a slight stab in the belly. That's it and then the Lady of the Lake made it painless for him. So he pretty much died of a peaceful life.

Who took Over After King Arthur Died?

Henry VII, Arthur's younger brother could only be the heir to the Thrown if Arthur was dead.
after Arthur's death he divorced his first wife. the pope didn't like this because he never officially did it. so Henry made his own church to make the pope even more mad. the towns people didn't care because the pope charged more to go to the church than Henry's church so people started going to the new church.

The story of Arthur's death is a legend and a story that may people believe in. legend tells that Arthur was stabbed by Mordred, Arthur's son. Then Arthur told his Knight to go and throw his sword into the sea. The Knight went but could not do it because the sword was so valuable so he hid it and ran back to Arthur. Arthur then asked him if he threw it in to the lady of the lake, the Knight said he did but Arthur saw that he had failed. So Arthur asked him to throw it again and so the knight went and threw it in the lake. Then the Lady of the Lake thrust her hand up from the sea and caught the sword and sent a ship to get Arthur and then he died, but the Lady of the Lake said he would once return as a great king. And that is the story of King Arthur.
