Ad Uthur Pendragon viene data la magica spada di Excalibur dal mago Merlino: alla sua morte Uthur seppellisce la spada in una roccia. Il piccolo Artù è sottratto ancora in fasce alla madre dal Mago Merlino per essere preparato alla grande impresa di estrarre Excalibur dalla roccia. Artù ci riesce e viene proclamato re.
