Sword of the Rightful King is a 2003 retelling of Arthurian Legend written by Jane Yolen. The story details the events leading up to Arthur's famous freeing of Caliburnus from the stone. This retelling is notable because Arthur is already the High King at the start of the story and the whole sword-in-stone situation is a trick devised by Merlinnus to strengthen Arthur's claim to the throne.Arthur has been High King for four years now, but he still struggles to bring the unruly chieftains and minor kings of Britain to heel. He is a compassionate and charismatic ruler, but he lacks the experience and royal blood needed to command their respect.Chief among his rivals is Morgause, his half-sister and the witch-queen of the North. From her stronghold in Orkney, Morgause plots to put one of her sons, if not herself, on the throne. She has sent her sons to Cadbury under the guise of friendship, but neither Arthur nor Merlinnus are surprised to learn she’s sent an assassin as well. At the same time, a mysterious boy named Gawen arrives at court and quickly endears himself to the king and his advisors.Merlinnus knows that the kingdom needs a sign to rally around Arthur. Something that smacks of destiny. He has a plan. Now he just needs to pull it off before Morgause can get her way. | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Morgause and her sons. The father, King Lot, is dead and whether he was healthy enough to sire young Medraut before passing is a matter of rumour. Morgause is possessive of her sons because they are her key to the throne of Britain, but she cares little for their wellbeing and blames them for weakening her magic each time she gave birth. Gawaine hates his mother and has joined up with her nemesis to spite her. The brothers are prone to quarrelling among themselves. At one point, Gawaine loses his temper and accidentally chokes his young brother. When you remember that Morgause is Arthur's stepsister, and that Arthur's father Uther married their mother after killing Morgause's birth father, it starts looking even more screwed-up. | |

Sibling Rivalry | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: Arthur and his foster brother Kay were friendly rivals growing up, though they had the occasional scrap, like the one where Arthur broke Kay's nose (Kay remembers it differently). As adults, Kay is Arthur's trusted seneschal. Despite his honoured position, Kay secretly envies his younger brother's place as king, as shown by his nightly attempts to draw the sword from the stone. Morgause's sons have tense relationships stemming from their mother's manipulation. Agravaine in particular butts heads with his big brother Gawaine. Both look down on their bratty little brother Medraut for being Morgause's favourite. | |

The Bully | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_1b60dcba | comment |
The Bully: Agravaine takes sadistic pleasure in tormenting animals and his social inferiors. One of his character-defining scenes has him whip an ostler whose horses didn’t meet his standards. The servants call him “Hard-Hands� behind his back and he has ruined many a good horse by mistreating it. Fortunately, he gets better, though he retains his Hair-Trigger Temper. | |

| Sword of the Rightful King / int_246f70c6 | comment |
Identical Twin Mistake: Gawaine is one of the few people who can tell Gaheris and Gareth apart, and even then it usually comes down to behavioural tics (like the way they hold their heads) rather than physical differences. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield: According to the legend on the stone, only the rightful king of Britain can pull the sword from the stone. In truth, nobody can pull the sword unless Merlinnus speaks a counter-spell first. Unless they think creatively like Gawen and loosen it up with butter. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Agravaine makes the mistake of punching Gawaine, who is sick and tired of his younger brother's bad attitude. For comparison, Gawaine is an adult who has trained with the best combat masters in the land, while Agravaine is fifteen and still weak from seasickness. Gawaine ends up hitting back harder than intended and almost kills Agravaine. | |

Stating the Simple Solution: Gawen is very good at this. Is the throne uncomfortable? Add a cushion! Is nobody taking up the king’s invitation to try pulling the sword? Make it an official order instead! Is the sword stuck in a hunk of rock? Grease it up with butter!. It comes with being Wise Beyond Their Years. | |

Revenge: Gwen disguised herself as a boy and came to Cadbury to train as a knight so she could kill Gawaine, who she believed to have abandoned her sister. She knew that this plan would take years to come to fruition but committed to it anyway. Fortunately revenge becomes unnecessary when she learns that Gawaine truly loves Mariel and only left because of his mother's interference. | |

If Arthur is twenty-two, then Morgause is about thirty years old. Gawaine, her oldest child, is 18, so Morgause would have been just twelve years old when he was born! Of course, given the time period... | |

Magnetic Hero: Arthur has great personal charisma and understands how to command people's loyalty. Agravaine, who starts the story firmly in his mother's camp, switches after meeting Arthur in person. Presumably this is how Arthur assembled his other Companions, including Gawaine, Lancelot, and Galahad. | |

The Good King | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_db912a80 | comment |
The Good King: In keeping with tradition, Arthur is a kind and merciful king. For example, he spares a pair of impoverished would-be horse thieves and sends them away with a small coin each so they can get their livelihoods back. | |

Excalibur in the Stone | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_e7d03dc5 | comment |
Excalibur in the Stone: The sword in the stone is Caliburnus (an alternative name for Excalibur). It is a well-made sword but not inherently magical. It turns out that the sword Arthur pulls from the sword is an unnamed Caliburnus-prototype and the true Caliburnus was pulled by Gwen. | |

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold | |
| Sword of the Rightful King / int_ff7e9adf | comment |
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Arthur and most sympathetic characters have blonde hair. This contrasts specifically with Morgause’s tangled black hair. | |
