King Hrothgar's legacy is an example of one that was balanced from successful to a problem starter. Lastly, Beowulf's rule was very productive even though he was selfish he made up for it with his heroism which he was known for in his legacy. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the characteristics and events that shape someone's legacy.

The Once and Future King is written by T. H. White in 1958. I choose this book because I loved watching The Sword in the Stone as a child and thought it would be interesting to read the true story. The book consists of four parts: The Sword in the Stone, The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Ill-Made Knight, and The Candle in the Wind. Each part contains wonderful stories about King Arthur and his round table.

“… You must complete four tasks that will be set before you by King Archeuis. You must complete them within 50 days of appearing before the King. Once you have completed your tasks all will be set right, and you will be given the land and rights that you deserve.
