In accordance with tradition, in the island of Tintagel there was a sword stuck in a rock. A legend said that the man who could take it out of the stone would become king of England. Nobles from all over the country were trying to do it, with no success. Tall and strong men, trained and hardened in many batles.

Suddenly, over there, a poor and humble boy called Arthur appeared. He was very thin, pale and bonny. Some of the nobles thought it would be funny to laugh at the weak lad. So one of them said "Hey, boy!! Come and take this sword out of the rock. Be our king!!!" All nobles laughed noisily. Arthur walked towards de rock, pulled and... The sword easily came out. All nobles fell on their knees, showing respect to the boy. Some days after the boy was crowned. The legend of king Arthur had started.
