    Ingvarsdóttir 1 Hugvísindasvið Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskudeild Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir Kt.: 060389-3309 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 3 Abstract This essay is an attempt to recollect and analyze the character of Queen Guinevere in Arthurian literature and movies through time. The sources involved here are Welsh and other Celtic tradition, Latin texts, French romances and other works from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Malory’s and Tennyson’s representation of the Queen, and finally Guinevere in the twentieth century in Bradley’s and Miles’s novels as well as in movies. The main sources in the first three chapters are of European origins; however, there is a focus on French and British works. There is a lack of study of German sources, which could bring different insights into the character of Guinevere. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the evolution of Queen Guinevere and to point out that through the works of Malory and Tennyson, she has been misrepresented and there is more to her than her adulterous relation with Lancelot. This essay is exclusively focused on Queen Guinevere and her analysis involves other characters like Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Enide, and more. First the Queen is only represented as Arthur’s unfaithful wife, and her abduction is narrated. We have here the basis of her character. Chrétien de Troyes develops this basic character into a woman of important values about love and chivalry.

  • The Court of Camelot Arthurian Pantheon
    The Court of Camelot Arthurian Pantheon “YET some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall win the holy cross. I will not say it shall be so, but rather I will say: here in this world he changed his life. But many men say that there is written upon his tomb this verse: Hic jacet Arthurus, Rex quondam, Rexque futurus (Here lies Arthur the once and future king). “ - Le Morte D'Arthur by Thomas Malory “So there’s a few floors of military police, six confirmed sorcerers, a couple dozen spartoi, and an elite squad of werewolf warriors? I thought you said this was going to be hard.” -Joe Ortega, Lancelot OVERVIEW The gods often concern themselves with stories of creation, of times before men, when the divines and titans shaped the fabric of the world. If you look for primal tales at the dawn of eternity, keep looking: you will not find them here. The stories of Camelot are the stories of heroes, of those bound by fate and those who conquered it. The first court of Arthur was made up of Scions of the Welsh and Irish Pantheons, with a few from even stranger heritage. They gathered together in Britain to protect mortal men from wicked fairies, dragons, and the incursions of foreign Scions and Titanspawn. As their legend grew, so too did the breadth of their cause. At the height of their power, Arthur and his fellows took a solemn oath upon the Round Table.
