Lancelot doesn't become king of Camelot because he and Guinevere end their love since their affiar was a key factor in the destruction of Camelot. Guinevere ends up becoming a nun in an abbey and Lancelot becomes a monk. The Kingdom of Camelot was lost forever when King Arthur made Sir Bedivere throw the sword, Excalibur, into the lake that The Lady of the Lake lived in.
No, because he loved Camelot! He fought for it because he was King and he did what was right:)
It is important for Gawain to attribute his death to Lancelot's blow because it reflects the themes of honor and accountability in Arthurian legend. By acknowledging Lancelot's role, Gawain reinforces the complexities of loyalty and betrayal among knights, as Lancelot was once a close companion. This recognition also highlights Gawain's understanding of the consequences of their actions, emphasizing the tragic nature of their rivalry and the moral dilemmas faced by noble characters. Ultimately, it serves as a poignant reminder of the intertwined fates of the knights and the impact of their choices.
There is conflict between them because a) Lancelot killed Tarquine's brother b) Tarquine was holding many fellow knights of Lancelot as prisoners in his castle (after beating them) c) As a knight, Lancelot couldn't back down from the challenge or quest so he honorably fought because it was his duty. They resolve the conflict by a joust. Tarquine didn't realize at first Lancelot was Lancelot so he offers to let each go their separate ways. When he found out he was though, Tarquine said they'd have to fight to their death. After much combat, Lancelot defeats Tarquine and kills him. Lancelot's a pretty cool guy. ;))
Sir Lancelot reveals his identity despite the looming threat of death because he values honor and loyalty above all else. By openly declaring himself, he acknowledges the gravity of the situation and the consequences of his actions. This act underscores his commitment to his ideals and the values of chivalry, even when facing a tragic outcome. Additionally, revealing his identity allows him to confront his fate with bravery, reinforcing his character as a noble knight.
Camalot It's spelled Camelot. Or it could have been Caerleon, just depends. In Thomas Malory's La Morte d'Arthur (The Death of Arthur) one of the best sources for Arthurian Legend it's called Carlion. Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace, and Layamon called Camelot Caerleon. Geoffrey gives a very elaborate back story of Caerleon.

Yes, Lancelot dies in the BBC series "Merlin." He sacrifices himself during the battle against the forces of Morgana to protect Arthur and Camelot. His death is a poignant moment in the series, highlighting themes of loyalty and sacrifice. Ultimately, Lancelot's fate adds to the tragic elements of the story as it unfolds.
It sort of depends on whether you want to a direct answer or not. Directly, no Guinevere was not responsible for Arthur's death. I mean she was not the one who dealt the mortal blow but it was her and her affair with Lancelot that kept the Holy grail away from Camelot and removed Camelot from it's protection. So in a way Guinevere set the stage for Arthur's death at the hands of his son/nephew Mordred.
Lancelot saved Lady Guinevere Because he and Gwen Were in Love. She cheated on her husband (King Arthur) to be with Lancelot. They were found in Gwen's bedroom by a bunch of Arthur's knights. Gwen was sentanced to Death by being burned at the stake. Obviously Lancelot couldn't stand there and watch his love die because of what he did. So he saved her :)))))) It really is quite romantic.... If you forget that the whole Kingdom of Camelot fell apart because of their love and kind of destroyed Arthur. He was so troubled he died :((

Lancelot then saves her,kills one of Gawains brothers in progress and escapes to his castle Joyous Garde.While Arthur was willing to let both of them go unpunished he is pressured by Gawain, angry over his brothers demise and thirsting for revenge, to besiege Lancelot's castle. When Lancelot is finally defeated Arthur exiles him to France.However, during Arthur and Gawain's absence Mordred rebells and crowns himself King. When Arthur returns, Mordred has grown too powerful and the war against him results in the destruction of Camelot.Short : Because of Gawains wanted revenge on Lancelot for killing his brother, Arthur was forced to leave Camelot, giving Mordred the chance to claim the throne, and banished Lancelot to france. Without Lancelot at his side Arthur was unable to defeat Mordred without the destruction of Camelot
First, it's "Shalott." She ain't an onion! Second, she dies because there is a "curse on her if she stay [stop weaving] to look down to Camelot." She looks out the window at Lancelot, who represents Camelot, also sees Camelot beyond him, and falls hopelessly in love with him--symbolically with the ideal of Camelot. Not a good thing for an artist to do--fall in love with the ideal of her age, since that ideal (Lancelot, in particular) is a contradictory and destructive force despite his good intentions. Tennyson's warning to be critical of the ideology of the age--a warning he didn't follow too well in the suck-up intro to Idylls of the King and elsewhere.
Sir Lancelot, in "Lady of Shallot" handles the lady's death in a dignified, thoughtful manner. He is sensitive and gracious about her death.

According to some of the legends, the war between Arthur and his rivals (usurpers), the end of the Knights of the Round Table and the death of Arthur brought about the downfall of the mythical castle, too. The surviving knights left for the Holy Land, Guinevere entered a monastery and so did Lancelot, in certain versions of the myth.
In "Morte d'Arthur," the black hoods worn by Lancelot and his knights symbolize mourning and penance for their sins. They also signify a desire for anonymity and repentance for their past actions, particularly in the context of the tragic events unfolding in Camelot.
Sir Lancelot's perilous adventures ultimately led to his tragic downfall and the unraveling of the Arthurian kingdom. Despite his bravery and prowess in battle, his forbidden love for Queen Guinevere resulted in betrayal and conflict, contributing to the fragmentation of King Arthur's Round Table. His journey culminated in deep personal loss, including the death of his closest friend, Sir Gawain, and the eventual collapse of Camelot. Ultimately, Lancelot's legacy is marked by both heroism and the consequences of his choices.
Sir Lancelot, a legendary figure from Arthurian literature, does not have a definitive historical death date, as he is a character from myth and folklore rather than a historical person. In many tales, he is said to have lived in Camelot, the castle associated with King Arthur. Some versions of the legend suggest he died in solitude, reflecting on his life and love for Queen Guinevere, often portrayed as a figure of tragic nobility.
