My opinion of King Arthur’s honor is that he is selfless and humble. He will help anyone who needs it and won’t let the kingdom fall into disorder and I think that is the best kind of honor there is.

Carter

Anyone who is loyal and good can be part of his kingdom. And anyone who isn’t loyal and is evil will be punished. In fact he said it himself in the book.

Arthur’s code of honor is being humble, because he doesn’t care that he is King of Britain, he can still go on adventures like a knight, and fight to the death. He won’t just sit on a throne, and have people do the bloody, and deathly adventures for him. I really respect that.

Audrey R.

I think King Arthur is forgiving because when sir Kay lied and said he pulled out the sword Arthur didn’t get mad. He is humble because he rules as a noble king but still treats him and all the knights as equal and he even had a round table built so no one felt better or worse than anyone else

Andrew

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 16:46:52 UTC

King Arthur’s code of honor is he doesn’t hold himself above everybody else, he acts as if he is just another Knight, and not a king. He goes out on missions by himself and risks his own life for the lives of others.

Aniya

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 16:47:12 UTC

I think his code of honor is he is not afraid of death as long as he dies doing something good. Evidence is he rushed into battle with another king and was going to die but he was trying to stop him from slaying other knights that pass by so he thought it was ok.

Bryce

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 16:47:57 UTC

Thoust who shalt do good deeds shall not receive honor. I think this is it because when one of his knights was killed and another new knight was badly wounded because of King Pellinore, he very much disliked Pellinore.

Mia

2018-09-20 16:49:50 UTC

I think his code of honor is pride because after Arthur saves Merlin, Merlin says, “It is you who draw near to your death - for you go towards it in your pride, if God does not aid you.” Also, when Arthur was fighting King Pellinore he didn’t give up even after he fell when he was jousting. His pride kept him going.

Marc

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 16:49:51 UTC

He will never tied or give up. When he was dueling with King Pellinore he said”Death is welcome when it comes; but to yield - never!” This is why I believe this is his code of honor.

Isaac S.

2018-09-20 16:50:15 UTC

His code of honor is that he is forgiving. I know this because he forgave sir Kay when he lied.

Melina

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 16:50:24 UTC

I think King Arthur code of honor is bravery because during the story he didn’t back down during fighting. Also he is not afraid of death.

Greta

2018-09-20 17:20:08 UTC

I think King Arthur’s code of honor is that he is king and he rules like a king.-“King Arthur now gathered all the hosts of Britain, and picked the older knights who has served his father and younger knights whose desire was to show courage....” but also he doesn’t brag about being king and make the knights do all the work for him, but is humble and fights in battles and adventures like a knight.-“he set out to do battle with the Saxons and to punish all those thieves and robbers who had ravaged the land for many years for doing shameful deeds. Before long he had brought peace and safety to all of Britain..., “and also fought against Pellinore like a knight fighting for his master.

Lachlan

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:30:00 UTC

King Arthur’s Code of Honor is a kind of weak code (so far). The only real sign of honor we saw in Chapter 1 was when King Arthur let King Pellimore pass when he and Merlin were heading back to Caerleon after he got the sword Excalibur. The only other time honor really came up was when he went to joust King Pellimore. Why he did it was kind of honorable, because someone had been injured jousting him, but as he went to joust King Pellimore he let his pride take over. From this evidence, it can be concluded that King Arthur’s Code of Honor so far in this story is kind of weak.

Aiden

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:33:39 UTC

The definition of honor is high respect or a privilege. Well I think King Arthur’s code of honor is him being respectful and getting a high respect. For example “Vengeance, lord king,” is stating that he is of high respect. For another example,” I will make you a knight according to your wish.” Pg 14 for both!

Audrey C.

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:34:31 UTC

Arthur’s code of honor shows how he is humble, forgiving like when he forgave his brother, vengeful when he tries to avenge Gryflet, rebellious when he didn’t follow Merlin’s orders, and brave when he didn’t step down from a fight and when he went on an adventure on his own.

Isaac K.

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:36:08 UTC

Arthur’s code of honor:
• Avenge the dead or wounded
• Be kind to everyone
• Everyone matters
• The truth is valuable
I know this because:
• Arthur sent a knight to avenge someone's death/ avenged the knight's health
• As a squire, Arthur was kind to everyone and never told a lie
• He promised that he would pay attention to the smallest discomfort of his subjects

Josie

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:36:47 UTC

His code of honor is to always be forgiving. This is because in the text he forgave Sir Kay for lying to their father and saying that he himself pulled out the sword and not King Arthur.

Marc

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:37:56 UTC

He will never tire or give up. When he was dueling with King Pellinore he said”Death is welcome when it comes; but to yield - never!” This is why I believe this is his code of honor.

Meredith

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:38:47 UTC

Arthur is a man of his word because when he went to retrieve the Excalibur the lady holding the sword told him she would give him the sword in exchange for a wonderful gift and he will obviously repay this deed.

Pari

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:39:31 UTC

Kings code of honor is one who never yields. I know this because it said “Death will, come when it will. But yield? Never."

Wyatt

brooketuley — 2018-09-20 17:40:16 UTC

When Merlin saves Arthur’s life, he said he would rather die for his kingdom than lose King Pellinore because of his strength and ability as a knight. His code of honor would be that he is honored, because he would die for his country. But he wanted to die instead of living for king of his country and he was shocked that Merlin saved him. He should want the best for his country.

Opal

A) I think King Arthur’s honor was comprised because he had multiple knights that smote and slay people that were important and meant a lot to him.

B) It is pretty self explanatory that a shield is very important because it is for safety and is to tell people who they are and who they serve.

Lachlan

2018-10-04 16:38:54 UTC

A: I think that Arthur’s honor was compromised in this chapter. I think after Balyn/Balkan (names are hard) killed the Lady of the Lake he started to make irrational decisions. I think whenever anyone starts to make irrational decisions, they lose their honor.

B: It helps other knights recognize each other by their coat of arms.

Damsel Meredith of E.L

2018-10-04 16:39:12 UTC

A. I think that Arthur’s honor code was defiantly compromised in this chapter because when the lady brought the sword and Balyn drew it out of the scaboard then killed the Lady of the Lake Arthur sent Balyn out of Camelot and Arthur really trusted Balyn so this came as a surprise to him.

B. The importance of a knights shield is very important because other knights could identify you in the way your shield looks and you wouldn’t have a mix up like Balyn and Balan.

Bryce

2018-10-04 16:39:35 UTC

a) I cant really tell because he is only in it for the beginning and the end

b) is to protect the wearer of the shield and to know who is bearing the shield

Mia

2018-10-04 16:40:00 UTC

A) I think his honor is kind of compromised because when Balyn beheads the Lady of the Lake everyone sees it happen and Balyn was one of his own knights. Also, when the Lady of the Lake says, “Sire! I hold you to your word! When I gave you your own sword you promised to grant me a gift.” Then Arthur breaks a promise because he refuses to grant her wish.
B) The importance of a knight’s shield is it identifies the knight.

Audrey R.

2018-10-04 16:40:02 UTC

A.) I think that Arthur’s honor was not compromised but he did earn a different reputation because of Balyn and Balan’s actions.
B.) the importance of a knight shield is not only to protect yourself from getting smote but also to be recognized

Greta

2018-10-04 16:42:12 UTC

A) I think that Aurthurs honor was compromised because he wants everyone to be just to each other. When the damsel came with her sword, and Balyn pulled it out, he was delighted. But then on page 28 when the damsel said to Balyn “Certainly this is a passing good knight, the best in all the land- and many great and wondrous deeds shall he do... But now, kind and courteous sir, I beg you give me back my sword.”, Balyn was cursed with the dolorous stroke, and he destroyed 3 kingdoms, some maidens, his brother and himself. I know Arthur was mad about that.

B) A knights shield is important because, as Balyn and Balan demonstrated, you could easily be fighting your teammate, think you are fighting your opponent, and then be WRONG. A shield aslo protects you.

Pari

2018-10-04 16:42:13 UTC

I think it wasn’t because his code of honor was never surrender. And he didn’t surrender at all not the king at least.

Wyatt

2018-10-04 16:42:41 UTC

I think that Arthur’s code of honor changed from this chapter because last week we read the 1st half of chapter 2 and it said that Balyn cut of the head of the woman who possessed the sword, head off. Then Balan was sent to be a guardian of the castle. Later when Balyn was going to stay at the castle the rule was all who pass must fight the knight so he took an other knights shield because his was smaller but when they slained each other they found each other’s identity and figured the had just slained each other, the brothers Balyn and Balan. And Arthur thought of the brothers as brave knights and he thought it was a sad story of how the brothers died.

Aniya😈

2018-10-04 16:42:43 UTC

A)I think his honor was compromised because two of his knights smote each other and Balyn smote king pelles with the spear and he wasn’t supposed to
B) The importance of a shield is to protect you obviously but also so people can identify who you are so they won’t kill you.

Question 1

2018-10-04 16:42:44 UTC

In this chapter, Aurthur’s pride is compromised when King Ryon sends him a message asking Aurthurs to send him his beard, or surrender. Luckily, he has Balyn and Balan to help him out

2018-10-04 16:42:58 UTC

A.) I don’t think Arthur’s Honor was compromised but I do think he got a reputation that he probably doesn’t want.
B.) the importance of a knights shield is not only to protect himself from getting smote but also to be recognized.

Isaac S

2018-10-04 16:43:57 UTC

The importance of the knights shield was that Balan and Balyn would not have smitten each other so they could stand to fight another day

Sir Carter of Pawnee

2018-10-04 16:44:04 UTC

King Arthur’s honor is slightly compromised because casts out knights because of one evil deed. Which makes them think that they need to do some amazing deed to be accepted again.
Also a coat of arms is a way of recognizing a knight in full armor.

Yes, because one of his knights ran around killing people

2018-10-04 16:44:19 UTC

Aiden

2018-10-04 16:44:22 UTC

The honor is some what compromised by balyn trying to receive his respect back. Mostly because he stayed the lady of the lake and took that sword from that depressed peasant. So I can see why he is trying to earn respect back. There is also a bit of dishonor in it as well. For example, when balyn and Balon fought and killed each other and the no shield policy from Balyn.

2018-10-04 16:44:52 UTC

The importance of a shield is to protect the user from harm.

Pari

2018-10-04 16:45:25 UTC

A shield is important because without it a you’ll get stabbed and b it shows that you’re

A shield shows that they will BLOCK anything that you come at them with. And they don’t get stabbed which is always a plus.

It identifies the Knight.

2018-10-04 16:45:41 UTC

Josie

2018-10-04 16:46:38 UTC

A shield is important to protect the knight from getting hit or hurt.

Andrew

2018-10-04 16:49:11 UTC

a. King Arthur’s code of honour was compromised because a knight went around killing everyone.
b. The purpose of a shield is to protect someone when someone else attacks them.

Audrey Question 2

2018-10-04 17:20:21 UTC

A knights shield is important because it protects them in battle. It also has his coat of arms, or how people describe the knight. It is kinda like a nickname, it says “ well there is purple on his shield, so he might be royalty” because purple is the color of royalty.

brooketuley — 2018-10-05 14:35:05 UTC

The Two Swords- Arthur pulls a sword from a stone and becomes king. Then he goes to the Lady of the Lake and she gives him the sword Excalibur and the magic scabbard.
