  • Kind Arthur had won his battle against Mordred but had wounded on the battlefield and attended to by Sir Bedivere
  • The king told sir his time was fast and to take his sword and throw it into the water and come back and tell him what he's seen
  • Sir replied he shall do it however when he saw the sword and all its jewels he told himself that if I trow this rich sword nothing good will come of it so he hid it
  • When he returned the King asked what he had seen
  • Sir replied he saw nothing but the wind and the waves and the King replied that he must not be dealing with him truthfully
  • The king ordered him to go back do his command and to throw it in
  • Sir went again but his heart failed him when returned he told of the same thing
  • King Arthur cried out your traitor and if you do not fulfill my bidding I will slay you
  • Sir was shamed for disobeying the king as he went to throw the sword an arm came out of the water and caught the hilt
  • he returned and told the king what he saw
  • The king said finally and requested they leave
  • The king said to put him into the barge and Sir asked what should I do when you leave 
  • The king replied to comfort yourself as he will hear no more from him and to pray for his soul
  • When the queen had heard of the battle she left and rode to Amesbury, she wept for years for King Arthur
  • Sir Lancelot after King's death had eaten little food and none could comfort him after 6 weeks he could hardly get out of bed
  • He sent for the hermit
  • The hermit had a vision of Lancelot being carried to the heavens so he woke up Sir Bors and requested they check on him, he was indeed dead
  • In 15 days they reached Joyous guard where they laid his body and prayed
  • In the midst of the praying, Sir Ector de Maris arrived and gave final words

One of the best classes I took last semester was Indian Epics. I enjoyed taking Epics it was the most fun class had during a hectic schedule last semester. Being able to create and control my schedule as well as the structure of the class, in general, made it very enjoyable. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going finishing the semester with a 4.0 in a total of 19 hours. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power.
