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. Geoffrey of Monmouth introduces the notion of Guinevere's infidelity (with Modred) while Arthur is fighting on the continent.

Well, it's just a story, and just one version of it at that, but I like to think that it is pretty close. Not that I think T. H. White imagined anything remotely like the Liberty Round Table, mind you! But a group of dedicated individuals working on abolishing "Might" was exactly what the dying Arthur prophecies.

Traditionally called King Arthur, an early chronicler called Nennius refers to him as 'dux bellorum', a term designating a military leader rather than a king. Nennius also names Arthur as the victor in a series of twelve battles against the Saxons, which culminate in a decisive victory at Mount Badon. The early Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen depicts him as the leader of a group of semi-mythological warriors with super powers. See similar questions...

Merlin plays many roles in Arthurian literature, including bard, prophet, magician, advisor, and warrior. Though usually a figure who supports Arthur and his vision of Camelot, Merlin is, because of the stories in which he is said to be the son of a devil, sometimes presented as a villain. Celtic tradition contains a number of related figures-the Welsh Myrddin, the Scottish Lailoken, and the Irish Suibhne-who have characteristics similar to those of Merlin. See similar questions...

Bedivere and Kay (Bedwyr and Cai in Welsh sources) are among the warriors earliest associated with Arthur. The author of Culhwch and Olwen (ca. 1100) says of Bedwyr that he never shrank from any enterprise on which Cai was bound. Wace says that Bedivere and Kay are Arthur's two most loyal subjects. In the late fourteenth-century Alliterative Morte Arthure and other works that tell the story of the Giant of St. See similar questions...

This is not known. It is believed that an archway on the north side of the church is a remnant of a Saxon building, perhaps a Saxon minster church. We are seeking expert opinion on the dating of this feature. We will never know for certain, of course, whether our king was connected in any way with the church. See similar questions...

This is a very complicated question. There is no known answer. The historical Arthur is shrouded in the mists of the Dark Ages. The best description of what we know and do not know about Arthur is to be found in the introduction to: What is certain is that Arthur was NOT a medieval King. The modern images of knights in plate armour and a grand castle called Camelot are not historical at all. See similar questions...

She was probably a virgin. It's difficult to imagine any secret affair remaining secret for long. And birth control was tricky and untrustworthy in the 16th century. She knew that any affair would risk a pregnancy - and that would destroy her life. Furthermore, it is worth noting Elizabeth's own strict and methodical character, and the disdain she showed for women who could not control their feelings or appreciate the consequences of their actions.

It depends on the time and place you're referring to. While some kings did possess absolute power, others were more symbolical. Kings were very powerful throughout the Middle Ages. Some countries had laws allowing the king to do as he pleased with anyone. See similar questions...

In fact we do not know. Two Saxon buildings probably from a larger settlement were excavated during building work to the north east of the cemetery site, but there is no way of knowing whether this was the settlement associated with this cemetery. One would expect that the king would have lived in a rather grand hall, but this has never been found. Unfortunately, the chances of ever finding it are remote for several reasons.

We didn't really plan to get married in this church. Ernie's friend, Agnes, suggested after one of their snack dates with Joma to see this nice (and air conditioned!) church near Eastwood. Ernie liked it, showed it to Ces a couple of days afterward, and she also liked what she saw. The staff are very accommodating, and the two-day seminar for couples was really helpful. The CTK Church is in Greenmeadows Subdivision, Quezon City. If you're coming from Katipunan, take the flyover to E. See similar questions...

This is one of the mysteries of Sedang. Marie I died on November 11, 1890, in Tioman, an island off the west coast of Malaya, en route to reclaim his kingdom. J.F. Owen, the British resident (government official) of Pahang, was with Marie I at his death, and reported that Marie I died of a snake bite. However, Harold Scott, one of Marie I's entourage, bragged that he had killed Marie I in a duel. Later, Scott commissioned a Chinese artist in Hong Kong to paint a painting of the duel.

This question was very important during Henry VIII's reign. He said his marriage to Katharine should be annulled because she had been his brother's wife. He disregarded the papal dispensation which had given them permission to wed in 1509 by arguing that the Pope could not disregard the Bible itself. There are passages in Leviticus which specifically forbid a man taking his brother's wife as his own. Katharine swore that she and Arthur had never consummated their marriage, as did her duenna.

It is not only the variety and the dry matter content that dictates whether a potato will produce good chips or roast potatoes. How the potato is stored is also vital, particularly at this time of the year. Too often we find that chefs are using bags of commonly available general white potatoes which have been cold stored by suppliers to keep their skins looking good. See similar questions...

King Arthur" was ok but lacked any real impact. It tries to tell us the "true story" of King Arthur and then proceeds to get all of it's dates mixed up so that none of it could have happened. OK so let's say Arthur was a Roman general but lets leave the rest to the legends. Spiderman 2" was very good. I agree that as a rule superheroes seem to arise from lives that are filled with loss and sacrifice, but I think that's what allows them to make the hard choices. See similar questions...

This FAQ deals with some basic questions and ideas that keen Arthurian amateurs ask. It is quite a good introduction if you think that the whole Arthur thing is cut and dry and looks like John Boormans film Excalibur. To the unwary, this FAQ may appear to answer few questions. To many questions in the Arthurian Lore, there are no definitve answers, only theories and a few, a very few, undisputed facts. See similar questions...

Yes, I had and still have a wonderful humour, maybe a bit rude at times and maybe a little childish, but a great sense of what was funny and what could insult a person. I would dress up in charade's and try to surprise my wife(s), I would pretend to be someone else and mingle with my court jumping out of the disguise to surprise them all. A practical joker. A long funny story was my favourite method of making people laugh, my inner court would sit for hours listening to my fantasy stories. See similar questions...
