Prince Valiant

Sligon and his Viking rebels force the Christian royal family of Scandia into exile. King Aguar, his wife, and Prince Valiant flee their homeland and seek protection. The family comes under the protection of King Arthur, setting the stage for their alliance with Camelot.

As a grown man, Valiant travels to Camelot to begin his training under Sir Gawain. Arthur decrees that he must become a knight through a squire's path, and Brack offers to take him on, but Valiant chooses Gawain as his mentor.

During his wanderings, Valiant witnesses a clandestine meeting between Sligon's Vikings and a black-clad knight. He is discovered but escapes, and soon after runs into Sir Gawain, who becomes his protector and ally.

King Arthur decrees Valiant will train as a knight through the squire system, and Brack offers to take him on instead. Valiant ultimately becomes Sir Gawain's squire, reaffirming his loyalty to Camelot.

Brack's route leads to an ambush by bowmen. Valiant escapes with an arrow lodged in his back and is taken in by Luke's daughters, Aleta and Ilene. He and Aleta fall in love, but Luke disapproves of his Viking origins, forcing their romance underground.

Ilene is attracted to Gawain, creating a secondary romance dynamic in Camelot. This tension runs parallel to Valiant's romance with Aleta.

While searching for Valiant, Gawain runs into an ambush by the Black Knight and barely survives. Brack, who had been guiding the search, disappears around the same time, fueling Valiant's suspicions of his treachery.

A tournament is held in Camelot in honor of Aleta and Ilene. Valiant dons Gawain's armor to win Aleta's hand, but loses the joust and is unmasked, only to discover that the winner is actually Gawain, who awakens to his love for Aleta.

Valiant is confined to his quarters and forced to tend Gawain. A messenger arrives to fetch Brack, and Aguar's seal ring is tossed through Gawain's window, signaling that Aguar's family is in danger. Realizing his parents are at risk, Valiant resolves to return home.

Valiant is captured by Sligon's Vikings and the Black Knight, Brack, who is the traitor in the shadows. Brack has struck a pact with Sligon to deliver Aguar's family in exchange for Sligon's aid in conquering Camelot. The prisoners are taken toward Scandia.

A group of Christian Vikings led by Boltar stages a revolt and infiltrates the castle to assassinate Sligon. Boltar encounters Valiant in the confusion and orders him to give the attack signal after Sligon falls. A mis-timed signal triggers chaos and sets the stage for Valiant to act.

Valiant sets parts of the castle ablaze to breach the walls and throw defenders into confusion. In the tumult, he slays Sligon, sealing the end of the usurper's rule. This climactic move turns the tide in favor of the Christian Vikings.

Valiant returns to Camelot with Aleta and confronts Brack before Arthur and the Round Table. Brack calls for a trial by combat; Gawain offers to fight in Valiant's stead, but Valiant accepts the duel himself.

Gawain reveals that Brack betrayed them and blesses the union of Valiant and Aleta. His honesty redeems his own honor and clears the path for Valiant's recognition.

King Arthur knighted Valiant as a Knight of the Round Table, acknowledging his courage and loyalty. Aleta and Valiant are united, and Camelot's realm enjoys a renewed peace as the legend moves forward.
