During Uther Pendragon's aging years, Arthur grew up alongside Antor and Flavilla, vassals he believed to be his true parents. Following the one he also believed to be his brother, Keu, in his many adventures, he once found himself facing the sword of Excalibur, proudly planted in his rock and sealed to it for any blood that was not royal. . This sword, indeed, was the one that was to designate the successor of the now-deposed king to the throne of Camelot and, unsurprisingly, Arthur was the one who freed it without the slightest effort. From this exploit arose two quite opposite reactions: those who, blindly, offered allegiance to the designated successor, and those who cried scandal. How can a son of vassals claim the throne? Arthur's true identity was then revealed to him by Merlin and his access to the throne was not long in coming, without even knowing his father.
