Knights of the Round Table 1953 PDTV Swsub-elements

In the middle ages, the knight, Sir Lancelot of the Lake, travels from his home in Benwick, France to England in search of Arthur Pendragon, who, on reputation alone, he plans to serve loyally as the rightful sovereign ruler of England. There has already been much bloodshed over the issue of rule in England, with Arthur's half sister, Morgan Le Fay, claiming she is the rightful ruler, while Arthur has demonstrated such by the legend of being able to remove the sword Excaliber from its anvil, something that Morgan's knight champion, Modred, was unable to do. In ruling, Arthur plans to marry his childhood sweetheart, Lady Guinevere, in Camelot. Upon their meeting, Lancelot and Arthur become steadfast friends with Lancelot making that commitment to Arthur's service as long as he is needed. The pair prove to be an unbeatable combination as they defeat Modred and his men in battle, with Arthur ascending to the throne. In wanting peace in England and against the advice of Lancelot, Arthur, as King, pardons all those against who he fought in battle, including Modred. Merlin, the sorcerer who has been like a wise father to Arthur, believes it best to keep both Modred and Morgan close to their breasts to be able to watch their actions more closely. Indeed, Modred and Morgan plan to overthrow Arthur by exploiting something that Arthur does not know: that Lancelot and Guinevere have fallen in love with each other. Indeed, Lancelot fell in love with her at first sight before knowing who she was, with both knowing that nothing can happen between them, which may not be enough to prevent Modred's plan. Meanwhile, Percival, Arthur's knight errant, has seen visions that he is to go on a quest in search of the Holy Grail, that search may affect the fates of Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot.
