'In the days of King Arthur
and his knights of the Round Table
'the Christian king of Scandia
was overthrown by a Viking traitor
'and escaped with his wife and son
across the North Sea to Britain.
'The traitor, Sligon,
searched for them relentlessly.
'But years passed, and Sligon
had not found the hiding place
'where King Arthur
had given them sanctuary
'in an abbey in a remote section
of the coast of Britain. '
Father! It's all clear!
It's Boltar!
Boltar!
All pirate ships have been ordered
to search for you, sire.
Last night we sighted
some Viking ships off this coast.
- Sligon's?
- Aye. Aye.
There's something queer
going on.
Does anyone in Britain
know you're here?
Only King Arthur.
I don't like it, sire.
To get his hands on you
and Prince Valiant
Sligon would pay any price.
- Now, Boltar, I cannot let you...
I don't mean Arthur,
he's your loyal friend.
But why don't you
leave this place?
Go to King Arthur's court at Camelot.
You'd be safe there.
When I leave this island,
God willing,
I've sworn to go in one direction,
Scandia,
to make a try for my kingdom,
my sword and the traitor's life.
- If the time is not yet right...
- It isn't, sire. It isn't.
In that case, I will send my son
to King Arthur.
Alone?
As any young man must go
who seeks knighthood.
I, Prince Valiant,
son of Aguar of Scandia,
do solemnly pledge
on my father's sword,
before me now
only in symbol,
to go to Camelot, and there strive
with honour and diligence
to become a knight
of King Arthur,
son of Uther Pendragon
and most Christian king of the Britons.
And when I have
become a knight
I pledge to return
to my father
and aid him to regain
what is rightfully ours
and to restore the Cross of Christ
to all our Vikings.
Nor shall I ever rest
until Sligon has been destroyed
and the sword he sullied
with pagan hands
has been restored
to this scabbard.
Always be proud
of your Viking blood
but conceal your identity
until you reach Camelot.
- I will, sir.
- Tell no one where we hide.
King Arthur knows.
He'll not inquire.
- To others, answer nothing.
- I won't, sir.
Remember the name of Sir Gawain.
He is our friend.
He will give you good advice.
Follow it.
Pay him homage as a great knight
of the Round Table.
- Yes, sir.
- Son.
Wear this.
God will protect you.
And a good right arm!
Hit a lick first, and pray afterwards!
Boltar!
If for any reason
we should need you here
before you're knighted,
I'll get word to you.
- How, sir?
- I'll send you this.
No one can counterfeit its message.
Remember it well.
I will, sir.
- Goodbye, Father.
- My prince.
Goodbye, Mother.
By Odin, I'd give my soul
to go along.
But he'll make it, sire,
just as sure as one day
you'll win back your throne.
I'll tell you something, Boltar,
I'll never tell another,
not even the queen.
I no longer dream
of winning back my throne.
But my son shall sit on it someday
if he's as good as I think he is
and time alone will tell that.
on this coast
to do your bidding
three months after you deliver
the exiles into his hands!
Your name, varlet,
before I run you through!
- I'm sorry, sir!
- Speak up! Your name!
- I thought you were somebody else.
- Liar! Look at my armour.
There's not a scullion in all Britain
doesn't know the crest of Sir Gawain.
- Sir Gawain?
- Don't pretend you didn't know!
I didn't!
I swear I didn't!
Sir Gawain, I'm Prince Valiant.
You know my father, King Aguar.
- He's in exile.
- Yes, but I'm not.
