In the second book of the once and future king, it starts out after the new king, King Arthur, just won a rebellion battle and was talking to Merlin and Kay. They discussed the ways of the people of the rebellion and why they were rebelling. As the book continues more battles went on and as a side story the book talks about the family feud brewing between the descendants of the Earl of Cornwall and the descendants of his murderer Igraine. Arthur with the help of Merlin sought how to control the knight's wanting to fight, and fulfill his goal of riding Might is Right from people's mind. They eventually came up with the round table, which was a wedding gift from Guenevere. The book ends by King Arthur's unwilling seduction by, unknown to him at the time, his sister Morgause.
I found that this book wasn't a every enjoyable one, it was more of a political, historic one that showed the necessary underpinnings of the story. Arthur was left off thinking about the round table idea and how it would work, the classic might for right idea which is still being used today. Might for right is how the democratic system is geared to work. The system enforcing the laws, might, to protect the other people of the nation, and prove justice, right. The the next book I think King Arthur with continue with the round table and will establish his idea of might for right, and start a long lasting time of peace. Lancelot will come to the round table soon, and probably become one of the upper members of Arthur's court. Hopefully he also will find some way to end this family feud before it goes to far.
