Why did Guenevere cheat on King Arthur?

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. (See what y'all are missing by not reading the whole thing?)
