The origin of Halloween witches

When it comes to Halloween, people may think of scary ghosts, and witches are one of the scary characters. There are always many legends about witches, some are creepy and some are thought-provoking. Now let's look at the legend of witches.

King Arthur's Knight Gawaine and the Witch.

The young king Arthur was ambushed and captured in a neighboring country. The monarch of the neighboring country was moved by Arthur's youth and optimism and did not kill him. And promised that as long as Arthur can answer a very difficult question, he can give Arthur eternal freedom. Arthur has a year to think about it. If you don't give him an answer within a year, Arthur will be put to death.

This is a difficult question to answer, but in order to save his life and gain eternal freedom, King Arthur promised the monarch of his neighboring country that he would give him an answer on the last day of this year. Arthur returned to his own country and began to seek answers from everyone: princess, daughter X, priest, wise man and court clown. He asked everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. People told him to consult an old witch, and only she could know the answer. But they warned him that the witch's expenses were high, because her expensive expenses were famous all over the country.

When the last day of the year came, Arthur had no choice but to go to the witch. The witch promised to answer his question, but he had to accept her exchange first: to marry Gawaine, one of King Arthur's noblest knights of the Round Table and his best friend. King Arthur was surprised. Look at that witch: hunchbacked and ugly, with only one tooth. She smells like a gutter and often makes obscene noises. There is absolutely no way for him to agree to this request. So he refused. He can't force his friend to marry such a woman.

But after learning the news, Gawaine said to Arthur, "I agree to marry a witch. Nothing is more important than saving Arthur's life. " So the witch gave King Arthur an answer that satisfied all the neighboring kings. King Arthur kept his promise and let Gawaine marry the witch. So the monarch of the neighboring country released King Arthur and set him free forever.
