 Added back cover of 2nd print from 1972, (front cover is identical to the 1st print).This printing isn't listed in later Mayflower or Granada books.
Added front and back cover from 3rd print from 1973.

 #1 in the first corum trilogy:

#1: ''the knight of the swords'' (1971) (this book)
#2: "the queen of the swords" (1971), q.v.
#3: "the king of the swords" (1971), q.v.

omnibus (#1, #2 & #3):
#0: ''the swords trilogy'' (1977), q.v.
aka ''the swords of corum'' (1987), q.v.
aka ''corum'' (1992), q.v. (this edition adds an introduction by moorcock retained through 2002)
aka ''corum: the coming of chaos'' (1997), q.v.
aka ''corum: the prince in the scarlet robe'' (2002), q.v.
(a cover proof for this with the same art and isbn, but bearing the title, ''the chronicles of corum'', is sometimes listed as a separate published omnibus edition. there is no definite sighting of any such book in the wild.)

was followed, with something approaching grim inevitability, by
a second trilogy, prince corum of the silver hand:

2#1 (#4): "the bull and the spear" (1973), q.v.
2#2 (#5): "the oak and the ram" (1973), q.v.
2#3 (#6): "the sword and the stallion" (1974), q.v.

omnibus (2#1, 2#2 & 2#3):
2#0: ''the chronicles of corum'' (1978), q.v.
aka ''the prince with the silver hand'' (1993), q.v.


you have been warned: your fate is in the balance. . .
