Arthur was the King of England, of course, and also the lord of all the land......Guenevere loved him for her own reasons, but also loved Lancelot (her lover) for his reasons. Arthur knew about her cheating on him because Merlin told it would happen. Arthur didn't want to catch them in the act, for he would have to release war on his best friend, Lancelot. Guenevere really loved them both, but couldn't leave Arthur for him.

How did King Arthur meet his wife?
King Arthur had a wife named Guinevere, who left him for Lancelot, a knight. There are some spelling variations in different legends. Technically, she doesn't "leave" Arthur for Lancelot. The affair is exposed. Lancelot escapes, but Guinevere is taken to trial and is condemned to burn at the stake for high treason. (And Arthur seems more upset about losing the 13 knights that Lancelot killed in his escape than his wife's affair and imminent death.) Lancelot rescues her in the nick of time (even though he wavers about it) and takes her to his castle, Joyous Gard. And remarkably, despite Arthur's attempt to burn her, she returns to Arthur and remains a loyal wife to him and prudent queen while Arthur is oversees besieging Lancelot. She is not duped by Mordred's forged letters proclaiming Arthur's death. She did pretend to agree to marry Mordred, but that was to buy herself some time and gaining permission to go to London, where she immediately barricaded herself in a stronghold with men and provisions.

Where did sir Lancelot live?
Lancelot, when in infant, lived in the court of his father King Ban in the country of Benwick, in whatever city King Ban was dwelling in at a particular time. Benwick in the Prose Lancelot and later romances is approximately the Saumarois region of Anjou-Touraine.During his childhood Lancelot lived in a valley over which an enchantment had been cast so that to outsiders it appeared to be a lake.When he reached the age of 18, Lancelot went to Britain to be knighted by King Arthur at Camelot. For most of the period when Lancelot was one of Arthur's knights, his home was at King Arthur's court, which King Arthur held in many different cities: Camelot, Carlisle (Cardueil), Caerleon, London, and others. But Lancelot spent most of his time wandering Brtain seeking adventures and achieving quests. Lancelot had also won for himself the castle of Joyous Gard on the Humber River of which he was lord and he occasionally dwelt there.When Queen Guenevere caught Lancelot lying with King Pelles' daughter, believing she was Guenevere, Guenevere banished Lancelot and Lancelot went mad. At last Lancelot stumbled into Corbenic and was healed by the Holy Grail and spent some years thereafter in a nearly island with King Pelles' daughter until he was found by Perceval and Hector and learned that Guenevere had forgiven him and very much wanted him to return to court.When the love affair of Lancelot and Guenevere became openly known, Lancelot and his men took Guenevere to Joyous Gard and he remained there fighting a civil war with King Arthur. When the Church forced peace terms by which King Arthur was given back Guenevere, Lancelot and his men went to live in Benwick and Gaunes in Gaul, kingdoms which belonged to Lancelot and his kin by hereditary right.Learning of Mordred's rebellion against Arthur, Lancelot and his men returned to Britain to aid Arthur, but on arriving they learned that Mordred had been slain and Arthur had vanished. Lancelot became a hermit and lived in a hermitage until he died.
