He was a man as old as oak roots who could read the future and hid baby Arthur away until it was time for him to become king. A 100
It was a symbol of power and whoever could free this double-edged blade from the anvil would be king. A 200
After pulling the sword from the stone, he said, “If you were to fight with me instead of against me—if you were to accept me as your king—then we could drive our enemies out of Britain once and for all.” A 300
She was a nymph who gave Arthur his sword, Excalibur, and said, “Its scabbard is worth more to you than a thousand swords. For while you wear it at your side, you will never die of any wound.� A 400
Merlin predicted that this person would bring about Arthur’s doom despite his deep love for her. A 500
This contained one seat known as the “Seat of Danger.� This seat was for a mystery man, and if the wrong man sat in the seat, he would be burned to ashes. It is a lasting symbol of equality where knights met with King Arthur to discuss and decide the future of the kingdom. B 100
It symbolized purity and was hunted by dogs who symbolized evil. When this animal burst into the wedding feast of Arthur and Guinevere, the knights refused to help catch the animal. King Arthur and Guinevere were furious. B 200
It is the code of knightly conduct that Arthur refers to in this speech: “You must serve the queen as well as me. Together we strive for justice—not for brute power! Never shall you refuse help to any woman; you must protect the weak and innocent; you must always be merciful and kind!” B 300
Merlin sought this woman’s love, but she was afraid of his affection because he had powers of dark and light. She tricked him into a cave in a tree where he would sleep in darkness forever. This was the first sign that Arthur’s court was weakening. She is otherwise known as Lady of the Lake.
B 400
She is Arthur’s half sister, who made a pact with the devil to become a witch. Her jealousy drove her to steal and discard Arthur’s scabbard and try to kill him with a cloak that caught the wearer on fire. She made Lancelot believe that the queen “would welcome the company of her huband’s favorite knight.” She was pleased by the affair that soon developed between Lancelot and the queen. B 500
He is Lancelot’s son by an act of trickery and magic. He proves himself as the “best knight in the world” by pulling a sword from red marble. He sits safely in the Seat of Danger at Arthur’s round table. C 100
It is a golden dish that Jesus Christ is said to have drank from at the last supper. It appears to Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in a vision. It is said to word miracles by its mere presence. C 200
King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table left on one of these in pursuit of the spiritual perfection they believed the Holy Grail possessed. They were gone many years, which weakened the strength of the kingdom. In fact, Sir Galahad died and is believed to have become a saint after experiencing the Holy Grail’s perfect love, peace, and harmony. C 300
DAILY Place A Wager DOUBLE C 400
The Fisher King would not allow the Holy Grail to be brought to Britain because he said the kingdom was too full of these. At mention of this word, Lancelot knew it indicated him because he had been struck by lightening when he tried to claim the golden goblet. The Queen hid her face with her hands when this word was spoken. C 400
This person was secretly pleased at Arthur’s and his knights’ failure to bring the Holy Grail to Britain. A success would have meant that Arthur’s kingdom and power would know no bounds and everyone in the kingdom would benefit. However, the failure brought a smile to this man, Arthur’s enemy, who was fated to bring about the King’s doom. C 500
This was sent by Morgan le Fay to test for weaknesses in the women of the court. It was said that whoever drank from this and spilled the wine would give away that she had had an affair. The queen would not fall for the witch’s trickery, and Arthur threw this into the fire. D 100
As a second gift to the king, Morgan le Fay sent this. It was painted on the front with a knight stamping on the heads of a king and queen. Mordred accuses Lancelot of being the knight who has power over Arthur and Guinevere because of his long-standing affair with the queen. D 200
Arthur is outraged by Mordred’s accusations about Lancelot and the queen. He challenges Mordred to prove himself in one of these with Lancelot. It was believed that the winner of this would be the person who was morally right. Mordred refuses by saying that no one can beat Lancelot no matter how right he is. D 300
This word describes how King Arthur feels when he returns from a hunt only to find that Lancelot and Guinevere have been caught in the act by Mordred and twelve other men. Lancelot defends the queen (or attacks the spies) and kills all twelve knights. D 400
King Arthur must break this in order to punish his wife and most trusted knight for their acts of treason. The queen is to burn at the stake, while Lancelot must enter into war with King Arthur. The _____________ of the Round Table is broken. D 500
This is the punishment that the queen must endure. However, Lancelot rides in on his trusty steed to rescue her from this and kills several men in the process. For over a thousand years, this was an acceptable and public way to punish and purify the wrongdoer of all evil. E 100
This religious leader sent an order that the war between Lancelot and King Arthur, which was tearing Britain in two, be halted. He commanded that the two make peace and Queen Guinevere be returned to her rightful husband. E 200
Guinevere sought Arthur’s forgiveness and professed her love for him in the end. She could not bring herself to return to him in the end, and so gave up both Lancelot and the king. She threw her wedding ring on the ground and left to join one of these, saying, “From this day on, I give my heart to no one, except for God.” E 300
This is another word for kingdom. Mordred is left in charge of the ____________ when Arthur leaves to fight Lancelot. Mordred is a cruel leader who oppresses his own people. Morgan le Fay sees the situation as an opportunity to get her own power in the ___________ by marrying Mordred, but he refuses her because he does not want to share the control over the ____________.
E 400
A battle ensues between Mordred and King Arthur, but a truce is called on the terms that no man draw a sword until they have all left the battlefield. Morgan le Fay sees this as her chance to seek revenge on her former lover, Mordred, and her halfbrother, Arthur. She turns herself into this animal, which is a symbol of evil and an allusion to the Bible. A soldier draws his sword to kill her, and she dies knowing that “in her end lay the end of everything.�E 500
During the last battle, Mordred lunged at King Arthur who struck a blow with Excalibur through Mordred’s heart. With one last breath, Mordred brought his sword down, smashing Arthur’s helmet to his head. It was a mortal wound because Arthur no longer had the invincibility that this had provided because Morgan le Fay had thrown this into the river. F 100
After battles, this animal was known to feed on the corpses. It became linked with war and Arthur is said to have taken the form of this same animal after he was wounded. Edgar Allan Poe used this ominous bird in his writing, too. F 200
After Bedivere finally threw Excalibur into the lake, a hand rose and caught the sword. The hand did this three times with the sword, in other words waved, flourished, or wielded it in the air. F 300
Arthur’s men carried his dying body down to the lake where nine ladies dressed in black robes as queens waited. As they sailed away with Arthur, the Lady of the Lake herself told them that, “Arthur shall never die! Only let him sleep through the centuries in peace. For he is the ___________ and ______________ King!”
F 400
This is the name of the distant isle of fairy women and golden apples where Arthur lay waiting for the time when Merlin will break free and bring good magic and King Arthur back to the world in all his glory. No one is sure where this place lies. F 500
