According to the most common accounts, she died peaceably in a convent, either in Caerleon according to the chronicles, or in Amesbury according to the Lancelot version of her story. In the prose romance PerlesvausGuenevere dies of sorrow for the death of her son Lohot, long before Arthur's last battle. Her body and the head of her son Lohot are placed in a tomb in a chapel in the Island of Avalon. Arthur's body will eventually also lie there. It is possible that this author imagined a sequel in which Arthur would marry a second Queen Guenevere who would become Mordred's lover. Jean de Preis composed his Mer des Histoires or Ly Myreur des Histors near the end of the fourteenth century. In this version Mordred survives the final batltle. Arthur, and Gawain also!, sail away to Avalon. Then Lancelot of the Lake returns to Britain along with his vassal, King Carados of Little Britain. Lancelot besieges and captures London, executes the guilty Guenevere, and imprisons Mordred with her corpse, which in his hunger Mordred eats. Lancelot bestows the crown on Constantine the son of King Carados, and himself becomes a hermit.
According to Hector Boece in his Scotorum Historia in 1527, the Scottish king, Eugenius, an ally of Mordred, remains master of the field in the last battle, and takes prisoner Queen Guanora (here first mentioned in Boece), whom the Picts hold in lifelong captivity. Boece mentions an alternate tradition according to which Arthur obtained his wife back from Mordred, and had her torn apart by wild horses. According to a local legend at Meigle in mid Scotland, north of Perth, Guenevere fled there after the deaths of Arthur and Modred. The people there disliked her and slew her.
