"And below the hilt in letters of gold were written these words: "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is likewise king born of England." Though many tried for the sword with all their strength, none could move the sword nor stir it. Then the miracle had not worked and England was yet without a word, and in time, the marvelous sword was forgotten. This was a dark age, without law and without order. Men lived in fear of one another for the strong preyed upon the weak."
