Summarize it by completing the Wikipedia exercise on p. 

Example answer  

King Arthur was a legendary British leader. He was born in Cornwall during the Dark Ages.

Arthur became king because he managed to pull out the sword from the stone.

Arthur was a real knight because he had a lot of good qualities. He was honest and had a warm personality. He protected the weak and helped out damsels in distress. He was a good fighter and he never gave up.

We don’t know a lot about Arthur’s death. What we do know is that he died in AD 542 according to Geoffrey of Monmouth. He died on the battlefield at Camlann and his body was never found.

Opinions are divided on the question of whether Arthur is a real historical figure because although he is mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth's account, there is no actual evidence of his existence.
