The Love of Lancelot and Guinevere 2

Well as you might have noticed, the love of Lancelot and Guinevere was forbidden. Guinevere was the queen and King Arthur's wife. The two kept their affair secret and was not known to anybody but themselves. They got bolder and bolder everyday. Well, one day, while the King was away out of Camelot on business, Lancelot entered Queen Guinevere's bedchamber. As they were loving on eachother, some knights from the Round Table knocked on the door of the chamber to retrieve the queen for her daily routine. They became worried for the Queen since she was not answering her door so they broke down the door. They then discovered the lovers and Lancelot was shocked. He took up his sword and fought his way out of the chamber killing many good knights on the way. He rode off into the forest.

King Arthur then came back into Camelot, returned from business. He was then told the bad news. He had no choice but to follow the law of Camelot, which required that a woman found to be guilty of adultery was to be burned at the stake. King Arthur could not put himself above the law, so he was forced to carry out the execution. As they lit the first pieces of wood below the large burning stake, Lancelot burst through the crowd on his horse, lept off of it, cut the binds around Guinevere's hands and grabbed her and put her on his horse and they ran off. Arthur was greatly distressed about this. He had found that Lancelot had brought Guinevere to his castle, Joyous Gard, in France. So Arthur, laid siege to Joyous Gard and destroyed it. He took Lancelot and Guinevere prisoner. He was at this time greatly stressed because of the choices he had to make about what to do with the couple. He finally came up with the conclusion. He had Lancelot banished from the Kingdom of England and forced Guinevere to join a convent and become a nun for the rest of her life. From this point on, Camelot began to crumble.......
