In [[Universe (Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)|one universe]], King Arthur ruled from a castle in [[ | In [[Universe (Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)|one universe]], King Arthur ruled from a castle in [[Caerleon]] which was ''not'' actually called [[Camelot]] as far as he was concerned, but came to be known as such due to a misunderstanding of the first verse used by the bard [[Taliesin]] in his ballads about the [[Knights of the Round Table]]'s exploits: “In Caerleon, to the Castle, came a lot of strange people”. He was mentored by [[Merlin#Raising chickens|Merlin]] from a young age, and came to be married to [[Gwenhwyfar|Queen Gwenhwyfar]]. | ||
At some point, he learned that Merlin's quirks included keeping extra chickens on hand because he had prophetic knowledge that someday a strange woman called [[Jenny_Everywhere#Adventures_with_the_Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] would come to “Camelot” seeking a chicken. One day, while Arthur, Gwenhwyfar and the Knights were having dinner on the [[Round Table]], a nearly-naked Jenny appeared on top of the table, having shifted there from the [[Gnome Place]] in an emergency. She asked for Merlin, who presented her with the royal hen [[Bethan]], whose eggs she was able to use to route [[the Nome King]] because as a fellow legendary king, Arthur's symbolic power was a match for the Nome King's.
