And
Uther
,
when
he
was
made
king
,
remembered
Merlin
’
s
words
,
and
caused
two
dragons
to
be
made
in
gold
,
in
likeness
of
the
dragon
he
had
seen
in
the
star
.
One
of
these
he
gave
to
Winchester
Cathedral
,
and
had
the
other
carried
into
all
his
wars
before
him
,
whence
he
was
ever
after
called
Uther
Pendragon
,
or
the
dragon
’
s
head
.
Now
,
when
Uther
Pendragon
had
passed
through
all
the
land
,
and
settled
it
—
and
even
voyaged
into
all
the
countries
of
the
Scots
,
and
tamed
the
fierceness
of
that
rebel
people
—
he
came
to
London
,
and
ministered
justice
there
.
And
it
befell
at
a
certain
great
banquet
and
high
feast
which
the
king
made
at
Easter
-
tide
,
there
came
,
with
many
other
earls
and
barons
,
Gorloïs
,
Duke
of
Cornwall
,
and
his
wife
Igerna
,
who
was
the
most
famous
beauty
in
all
Britain
.
And
soon
thereafter
,
Gorloïs
being
slain
in
battle
,
Uther
determined
to
make
Igerna
his
own
wife
.
But
in
order
to
do
this
,
and
enable
him
to
come
to
her
—
for
she
was
shut
up
in
the
high
castle
of
Tintagil
,
on
the
furthest
coast
of
Cornwall
—
the
king
sent
for
Merlin
,
to
take
counsel
with
him
and
to
pray
his
help
.
This
,
therefore
,
Merlin
promised
him
on
one
condition
—
namely
,
that
the
king
should
give
him
up
the
first
son
born
of
the
marriage
.
For
Merlin
by
his
arts
foreknew
that
this
firstborn
should
be
the
long
-
wished
prince
,
King
Arthur
.
When
Uther
,
therefore
,
was
at
length
happily
wedded
,
Merlin
came
to
the
castle
on
a
certain
day
,
and
said
,
“
Sir
,
thou
must
now
provide
thee
for
the
nourishing
of
thy
child
.
”
And
the
king
,
nothing
doubting
,
said
,
“
Be
it
as
thou
wilt
.
”
“
I
know
a
lord
of
thine
in
this
land
,
”
said
Merlin
,
“
who
is
a
man
both
true
and
faithful
;
let
him
have
the
nourishing
of
the
child
.
His
name
is
Sir
Ector
,
and
he
hath
fair
possessions
both
in
England
and
in
Wales
.
When
,
therefore
,
the
child
is
born
,
let
him
be
delivered
unto
me
,
unchristened
,
at
yonder
postern
-
gate
,
and
I
will
bestow
him
in
the
care
of
this
good
knight
.
”
So
when
the
child
was
born
,
the
king
bid
two
knights
and
two
ladies
to
take
it
,
bound
in
rich
cloth
of
gold
,
and
deliver
it
to
a
poor
man
whom
they
should
discover
at
the
postern
-
gate
.
And
the
child
being
delivered
thus
to
Merlin
,
who
himself
took
the
guise
of
a
poor
man
,
was
carried
by
him
to
a
holy
priest
and
christened
by
the
name
of
Arthur
,
and
then
was
taken
to
Sir
Ector
’
s
house
,
and
nourished
at
Sir
Ector
’
s
wife
’
s
own
breasts
.
And
in
the
same
house
he
remained
privily
for
many
years
,
no
man
soever
knowing
where
he
was
,
save
Merlin
and
the
king
.
Anon
it
befell
that
the
king
was
seized
by
a
lingering
distemper
,
and
the
Saxon
heathens
,
taking
their
occasion
,
came
back
from
over
sea
,
and
swarmed
upon
the
land
,
wasting
it
with
fire
and
sword
.
When
Uther
heard
thereof
,
he
fell
into
a
greater
rage
than
his
weakness
could
bear
,
and
commanded
all
his
nobles
to
come
before
him
,
that
he
might
upbraid
them
for
their
cowardice
.
And
when
he
had
sharply
and
hotly
rebuked
them
,
he
swore
that
he
himself
,
nigh
unto
death
although
he
lay
,
would
lead
them
forth
against
the
enemy
.
Then
causing
a
horse
-
litter
to
be
made
,
in
which
he
might
be
carried
—
for
he
was
too
faint
and
weak
to
ride
—
he
went
up
with
all
his
army
swiftly
against
the
Saxons
.
But
they
,
when
they
heard
that
Uther
was
coming
in
a
litter
,
disdained
to
fight
with
him
,
saying
it
would
be
shame
for
brave
men
to
fight
with
one
half
dead
.
So
they
retired
into
their
city
;
and
,
as
it
were
in
scorn
of
danger
,
left
the
gates
wide
open
.
But
Uther
straightway
commanding
his
men
to
assault
the
town
,
they
did
so
without
loss
of
time
,
and
had
already
reached
the
gates
,
when
the
Saxons
,
repenting
too
late
of
their
haughty
pride
,
rushed
forth
to
the
defence
.
The
battle
raged
till
night
,
and
was
begun
again
next
day
;
but
at
last
,
their
leaders
,
Octa
and
Eosa
,
being
slain
,
the
Saxons
turned
their
backs
and
fled
,
leaving
the
Britons
a
full
triumph
.
The
king
at
this
felt
so
great
joy
,
that
,
whereas
before
he
could
scarce
raise
himself
without
help
,
he
now
sat
upright
in
his
litter
by
himself
,
and
said
,
with
a
laughing
and
merry
face
,
“
They
called
me
the
half
-
dead
king
,
and
so
indeed
I
was
;
but
victory
to
me
half
dead
is
better
than
defeat
and
the
best
health
.
For
to
die
with
honour
is
far
better
than
to
live
disgraced
.
”
