Conquests Of Camelot: Part 1 - I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight
7In the first episode of Conquests Of Camelot, we are taken back to England's mythical past, as the legendary court of Camelot is going through a tough streak - because of Queen Gwenhyver's illicit passion for Sir Launcelot, a curse has stricken the land, and only the retrieval of the Holy Grail by a knight worthy of its possession can bring about a permanent cure. With King Arthur's three best knights - Sir Gawaine, Sir Galahad, and Sir Launcelot himself - having disappeared without a trace in search of the divine artifact, it now falls to the King himself to follow their trail and try to find the Holy Cup, as well as rescue his friends from peril. Before doing that, however, Arthur must prepare for his journey - morally, financially, and spiritually, by paying visits to his wife, Queen Gwenhyver; to his Treasury; to his wise advisor Merlin; and to the Chapel of the Two Gods, Mithras and Christ, both of whom can be asked for a blessing.
