Mighty Medieval Men Merlin (Over the music): Once upon a medieval time, in a land far away, unless, of course, you are in England, then it s not so far away at all, there lived a mighty King, who had a son by the name of Arthur, that he did not want. He gave that son away to his mystical advisor, Merlin. That s me, and I in turn, gave the King s son to serve the good knight Sir Hector, as his lowly page, and then, squire. Sir Hector and Arthur lived in a place crowded with the most rowdy, bawdy, unruly, untidy, yet Mighty Medieval Men! All: Oh, look and you shall see How mighty all are we.
