"The Return of the King" is the second half of the 9th episode of season 3 of the animated children's series Arthur. It originally aired on January 4th, 1999.
Summary
Mr. Ratburn's class go on a field trip to a medieval fair. They compete for a trophy against a class from Glenbrook led by Mr. Ratburn's former teacher, Mr. Pryce-Jones. There are all doppelgangers of all the students in Mr. Ratburn's class. During the competitions, Arthur is sidetracked from a maze after seeing a sword wedged in stone. Mr. Ratburn's class fears that Mr. Pryce-Jones may replace Mr. Ratburn if they lose. Despite their efforts, the Lakewood students lose all of the competitions. However, due to Arthur's curiousity and thinking, he un-wedges the stone from the sword by wiggling the handle. He is proclaimed "Arthur Read, King of the Medieval Fair".

Notes
- If Francine wanted to make Arthur forget about the sword, Arthur pulling it out stopped her.
- This episode was adapted into a chapter book King Arthur, the thirteenth book in the Arthur Chapter Book series.
- Buster's doppelganger is voiced by Oliver Grainger, the second actor of D.W.
- Henry the Fifth was Muffy's counterpart's great-great-great-great-great-great uncle. That is, unless she was making it up like Muffy did in "Background Blues".
Goofs
- Arthur falls backwards when he sees his "shadow" move, but he rips through the wall facing forwards. It is normally impossible to twist like this in mid-fall.
- The socrerer's voice is different after Arthur pulls the sword out of the stone.
