legendary queen consort of King Arthur. In tales and folklore, she was
said to have had a love affair with Arthur's chief knight Sir Lancelot.
This story first appears in Chrétien de Troyes' Lancelot, the Knight of
the Cart, and reappears as a common motif in numerous cyclical Arthurian
literature, starting with the Lancelot- Grail Cycle of the early 13th
century and carrying through the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Thomas Malory's
Le Morte d'Arthur. Guinevere's and Lancelot's alleged betrayal of Arthur
was often considered as having led to the downfall of the kingdom.
