What is the truth in King Arthur?
There is little direct historical evidence of a King Arthur but historical evidence shows that the most likely source of the legend is from ancient British folk lore. The legend is highly rooted in what is now Great Britain but various facets have been added over the centuries with elements of Baewolf, Adam and Eve, Crusader folk-lore, etc. The legend was around prior to the crusades so the Christian elements were an addition (Quest for the Grail) as was Lancelot and Guenivere. The core of the folk-lore appears to be the concept of a strong leader bringing together various groups to carve out a perfect kingdom that ultimately fall through the failing of man. Camelot is always an ultimately unattainable\unsustainable ideal.
How should a knight feel about love?
Depends on the type of love. There's romantic love, which means that the knight should pursue the lady with honor, dignity, and respect. The knight wouldn't push himself on her or make a huge game of it. Then there's courtly love, which is a very different thing from romantic love. In mideval times it was incredibly common for knights to have a lady that they would hold in esteem, even if they were married. (The wives were presumably ok with this as it was so common.) They would do many acts of valor in the lady's name, but were not expected to pursue the lady romantically or sexually. In fact, more than one knight fell out of favor when they asked for more from this scenario! (Either the ladies would reject them or a jealous husband/suitor/father would chase them off.) The knights would often receive tokens (ribbons, hankies, ect) from the ladies that they would carry in their breastplates whenever they went to battle. It's believed that Lancelot started off as a knight who at first had courtly love for Guenivere, but that relationship soon went beyond that point. Of course there's no way of knowing whether any of the courtly loves became more serious or if any of the knights upheld the standard of knighthood as it was so long ago. (And besides, they were only human!)

How English names are pronounced in Cherokee?
No, modern names are normally a "Christian" or "European" invention (source) and not Tsalagi (the spoken language of the Cherokee). In some rare cases you can search the source of your name in its European form, and once you find that root you can translate the root word to Tsalagi IF the word is a noun.That's true enough, as it goes. There is however the notion that Christian names are usually of Hebraic origin, and a great many of those are names involving the name of God. Judah for example. James is a translation of Jacob. Abraham means Father of Nations, Abram is simply Father. Mary means rebellious. Martha means housewife. Dorcas and Tabitha are names that translate to "goat" or "gazelle" and refer to the grace with which they walk.Then there's actual English names, from the Celtic languages, Heather is a flower, so is Jennifer, which is also Guenivere. And Fern. Rose. Daisy.The concept is that a name, of whatever origin, actually HAS an origan. Richard means "rich man". It's much on the order that a name in whatever language has an original meaning, and that's the meaning you would have to translate. The English did it with Mary, James, Martha, ,Tabitha...You would have to find out what the name means in its original context and language.Some names would be hard to equate, a Lakota guy was explaining this last year in a street festival here in Colroado Springs.For instance, "horse" in Lakota is the combined words Big Dog. Because until the Europeans brought the horse, dogs were the preferred beast of burden in America. The guy explained to the tourists that in Lakota there's no word for Coffee, because it's an African origin plant introduced by the Europeans. No word for Monkey or Banana. If you tried to translate Dorcas or Leonard (like a lion) you would have to use the local equivalent animals and it wouldn't be an exact match.The flower names too, are usually a Celtic or Latin word describing the flower by color, like Rose being pink and Jennifer being a white flower. Darnel means Little Weed in French.Again that would have to be dug into. With the names like Leonard you would have to come up with an equivalent to Brave and Strong anf Fierce, which are the Lion attributes assigned to the original names. That's where creativity comes in.But, the names do have a source, the sources are fairly common between cultures, they're never an abstraction, a string of sounds put together just because they sound pretty.The process starts sounding simple, then gets complex, and back around to simplicity.The simple part is, find the root definition of the name. From whatever branch of the Human family, whatever language, every name has a meaning that can be discovered.One more thing, Mama means the same thing in every human language. It's one of those things that probably isn't a coincidence. It's the steps between that and being a walking dictionary that make Language fun.
Did Guinevere have children?
It all depends on which strand of the legends you are reading. In many of the more modern tales, Mordred is his illegitimate son from a relationship he had with his own half-sister.Another son given to Arthur in various tales is named Lohot, sometimes identified as the son of Arthur and Guenevere, sometimes as an illegitimate son of Arthur by a woman named Lionors. Sir Thomas Malory calls him Borre and Bohart in his Le Morte d'Arthur and name his mother as Lisanor.Then there is Arthur the Little who is an illegitimate son of King Arthur in the Post-Vulgate Arthurian Cycle.There is Illinot who is an illegitimate son of Arthur in Wolfram von Eschanbach's Parzival.Welsh tradition supplies Llacheu, who is possibly identical to Lohot, Gwydre, and Amhar/Amir whom Arthur is said to have slain.According to the Irish tale of Melora and Orlando, Melora was King Arthur's daughter. The Icelandic Thiðrekssaga gives King Arthur a daughter named Hilde.Some traditional medieval genealogies trace the highland clans of MacArthur and Campbell to a certain Smervie who is said to the son to King Arthur.And a few other sons or daughters of Arthur are mentioned in later texts and invented by modern authors.
