The Love Story of Lancelot and Guinevere
One of the saddest loves tories is that of Lancelot and Guinevere. One of the greatest knights of the roundtable of King Arthur was Lancelot. He was loyal, wise, strong, and kind. But unfortunately, he fell in love with Queen Guinevere. They tried to keep their love a secret from the king, but eventually, it became known and was a catalyst for the Round Table to fall. Like most romances, their love bloomed slowly. At first, Guinevere ignored Lancelot. But not for long and she soon succumbed to his charms and they became lovers. Another knight, Sir Meliagaunt grew suspicious and e confronted Sir Lancelot in the presence of the King and Queen. This led Lancelot to issue a challenge to Meliagaunt to dispute the charge. But in such a contest, Sir Lancelot became the victor when he cleaved his oponent's head in half. Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere's honour were restored. But rumours continued to abound and several other knights became suspicious
