Guinevere must have been hott

While dwelling in the depths of my fort, a rather grand fort I might add, my servants told me the story of Lancelot's quest to save King Arthur's wife. Although I'm not so sure I would have acted as he did in every circumstance, (less mercy more spears) his effort was a valiant and a noble one. He accepted many sacrifices throughout his journey that I could only commend with praise. It is not easy for a respectful man to ride many miles in a cart with a dwarf. An embarrassing task indeed, and the stench of the dwarf is not to be underestimated.

Although I'm sure it has good reason, I find Lancelot's infatuation with Guinevere almost strange. He bravely wins the heart of a local beauty along the way and after she begs to sleep with him, he simply lies down and turns a cheek, only to tell her it would be better if she were to go. A choice that almost questions whether he can love a woman at all. Yet, when he finds a lock of the queen's hair, he practically faints and cannot help himself from holding the hair close to him and worshiping it like some sort of treasure. But alas, though his actions may be those of an odd man, he defeated many arrogant and selfish nights throughout his journey. Not one stood a fair chance against sir Lancelot.


He fought through many obstacles including those delinquents of the Sword Bridge but eventually prevailed and made it to Gorre only to find that lady Guinevere is angry at him. He has risked his life and traveled many miles to save this woman and she responds ungrateful. Typically queen. My brothers wife would behave the same way. I give them food for the month and I don't even receive thanks. When he returns after finding Gaiwan then she confesses her disappointment and wants to be freed. For I can only hope that my daughter will never act in such a way, but, I know Olwen has been raised by the best, and her rearing would not lead her to be so disrespectful. I feel sorry for Sir Lancelot in that throughout his quest, his battles are often interrupted, whether it be by the merciful cries of his enemies, the stern father of an arrogant knight, or even the King Bademagu whom interrupts his duel against the wicked Méléagant. Lancelot deserves closure whether it be with his sword, or with his, well you know, love affairs.
