And the curious thing and again, how are we tying this together,
奇怪的是 我们是如何再次的把这联系起来的
On the middle of page 195, is that Uther the Conqueror
在第195页的中间 写到征服者尤瑟
so he's not referred to as Uther Pendragon but Uther the Conqueror

When we see the movie Excalibur, in Excalibur just before Uther is killed, he rams the sword into a stone
当我们在看电影《神剑》时 在《神剑》中尤瑟临死前 将一把剑插入了一块石头中
because he doesn't want anybody else to have it

of course, in folk material
当然 写的东西是关于民俗的
