With the help of King Arthur, Lancelot then defeats Claudas (and his allied Romans in the Vulgate) and recovers his father's kingdom. However, he again decides to remain at Camelot, along with his cousins Bors and Lionel and his illegitimate half-brother Hector de Maris (Ector).
Following the death of Arthur, Guinevere entered a convent, where she spent the rest of her life praying and helping the poor. Filled with remorse for the trouble she and her lover had caused, she vowed never to see Lancelot again. When Guinevere died, she was buried beside King Arthur.
Sir Lancelot returned several days later to rescue his beloved Guinevere from the fire. This whole sad affair divided the Knights of the Round Table and weakened Arthur's kingdom. Poor Lancelot ended his days as a lowly hermit and Guinevere became a nun at Amesbury where she died.
Lancelot immediately bowed to the king and begged forgiveness. Arthur laughed, and said he'd heard that Lancelot was on his way to Camelot, and came to meet him to test his skills. Arthur said Lancelot had nothing to be sorry for, and knighted him on the spot.
Lancelot, also spelled Launcelot, also called Lancelot of the Lake, French Lancelot du Lac, one of the greatest knights in Arthurian romance; he was the lover of Arthur's queen, Guinevere, and was the father of the pure knight Sir Galahad.
In later versions, a passionate love affair is established not with Mordred but with Lancelot, the greatest knight of King Arthur's court.
In the medieval legends about King Arthur of Britain and his knights, Lancelot is the greatest knight of all. In time, however, Lancelot's love for Guinevere, the king's wife, leads him to betray his king and sets in motion the fatal events that end Arthur's rule.
At first, Guinevere is implied as the love interest of Merlin (who is far younger in the series than in usual tales) and is also shown as having an attraction to Lancelot. However, in this version of the story, Guinevere's true love is Arthur.
The marriage is partly out of admiration for the king and partly for security against Malagant, but also because she does love Arthur despite their 35-year age difference. While on route to Camelot, Guinevere's carriage is ambushed by a group of Malagant's soldiers.
Arthur succumbs to his wound and dies in Merlin's arms, Queen Guinevere becomes the sole ruler of Camelot.
Most versions end with Guinevere retreating to a nunnery after the death of Arthur.In some versions , Lancelot and she escape, only for her to return to Camelot later.
"Thank you." Lancelot dies again, but this time, he is at peace. A tearful Merlin sets the noble knight's body onto a burning funeral pyre and pushes him off into the lake. In a Land of Myth and a Time of Magic... 'Lancelot du Lac' is one of the strongest episodes Merlin has ever produced.
War broke out after Lancelot staged an armed rescue of Guinevere, condemned to death for her treasonous love for the great knight. In the heat of battle Lancelot killed two of Arthur's best men, Gareth and Gaheris, who had defended the queen.
Lancelot arrives on time and, at last, fights Meleagant, who loses his temper and his arm (to Lancelot's sword), and is subsequently beheaded by Lancelot. Guinevere tepidly embraces Lancelot (they are in public) in the end.
King Arthur's dying request is for Sir Bedivere to throw the Excalibur into the lake, but Bedivere's greed temporarily prevails over his loyalty. He lies twice to Arthur about throwing the sword back. On his third trip to the water, he fulfills Arthur's dying wish.
King Arthur was married to Guinevere in most legends. Early traditions of abduction and infidelity follow Guinevere, who in some stories was carried off by Arthur's rivals and in others had an adulterous affair with the knight Lancelot.
Guinevere Pendragon, 455 - 515
Guinevere married Arthur Pendragon. Arthur was born in 460, in Britton. Guinevere passed away in 515, at age 60.
King Arthur of England and his queen, Silvia, have a son named Samson and a daughter named Grega. Unlike her brother, Grega is mentioned only once, when she's named in the introduction.
However, as often is the cause of quarrels between friends, Lancelot fell in love with Arthur's wife, Guinevere. This would have been all well and good if nothing had come of it, but Guinevere also fell in love with Lancelot, and they had an affair.
Lancelot is the most skilled fighter out of all of them due to his Eternal Arms Mastery skill, but he can't really win against the raw power of the other two. But still, remember that Lancelot has a natural advantage against Artoria due to his dragonslayer property.
However, Mordred's faith in Arthur and Camelot was shattered after the imprisonment and death of his beloved Kara. Believing that Arthur had betrayed him and metaphorically spat on their friendship, Mordred turned against the king and joined Morgana once more.
As well known as King Arthur's blade or the Holy Grail of Jesus Christ, the love between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere has cemented itself as one of the most integral romances of the literary world. It hits all the marks of “true love” including the sacrifice of reputation and the performance of noble deeds.
Kyduan was not the only child of Arthur according to Welsh Arthurian tradition – he is also ascribed sons called Amr (Amhar), Gwydre, Llacheu and Duran. (See the Offspring section for further information about Arthur's children.)
Guinevere is Arthur's wife and queen; according to the Vulgate Cycle and Malory, she is the daughter of Leodegrance of Carmelide. Though one of the Welsh Triads (Triad 56) speaks of Arthur's three great queens (all named Gwenhwyfar), later romance generally gives him only one wife named Guinevere.
