  • The best and bravest of the Knights of the Round Table was called Sir Lancelot. He came from Brittany (in France) and was King Arthur's friend.
  • He was also very handsome and Queen Guinevere fell in love with him.
  • The two would sneak away from the palace to spend time together. King Arthur had no idea what was going on.
  • King Arthur’s nephew was called Mordred (or Medrod). He was an evil man. He found out what Guinevere and Lancelot were doing and he told King Arthur.
  • Lancelot ran away, but Queen Guinevere was taken to court. The judges decided she should be burnt to death.
  • Lancelot rescued her and they escaped to Brittany.
  • Arthur took a big army across the English Channel to Brittany. He wanted to punish Lancelot and Guinevere.
