In the begynnynge of Arthur, after he was chosen kyng by aduenture and by grace, for the most party of the barons knewe not that he was Vther Pendragons sone, but as Merlyn made it openly knowen. But yet many kynges and lordes helde grette werre ayenst hym for that cause, but wel Arthur ouercame hem alle, for the mooste party the dayes of his lyf was ruled moche by the council of Merlyn.
Soo it fell on a tyme Kyng Arthur sayd vnto Merlyn, my barons wille lete me haue no rest but nedes I must take a wyf, and I wylle none taken but by thy counceill and by thyne aduys. It is wel done, said Merlyn, that ye take a wyf, for a man of your bounte and noblesse shold not be without a wyf. Now is ther ony that ye loue more than another? Ye, said Kyng Arthur, I loue Gweneuer.
