Was King Arthur influential in Medieval England... How?
King Arthur did not live during the Medieval Period - though Hollywood always dresses him in the armour of the twelfth century - so as a person he was not important. As a person, it is possible that King Arthur never existed at all: he may well have been just several groups of legends that got bound together into a single story (which is probably what happened with Robin Hood). If a real Arthur ever did exist, it was probably during the Sixth Century or thereabouts - a long time before the middle ages. But as an idea, Arthur was very important. Arthur was a king of the Brythons (the Welsh) who had ruled over the whole of Britain. Any Welsh king who could claim descent from Arthur could call himself the rightful king of all of Britain - and any English king who descended from Arthur could also claim to be the true king of the Welsh. The idea became important when Henry of Richmond landed with an invasion army at Milford Haven in 1485. Years of civil war (the Wars of the Roses) had killed off most of the best claimants to the throne of England, so that the throne was occupied by Richard III (who had a very poor claim) but was being contested by Henry Tudor (who had even less of one). But Henry Tudor was Welsh on his father's side. He had the brilliant idea of claiming that the Tudors were descended from King Arthur, and that this made him the rightful king of both Welsh and English. Since the Welsh and the English had been at war almost constantly for almost six reigns, both sides would have been glad of a king who could claim legitimacy for them both. When Henry defeated and killed king Richard at the Battle of Bosworth he immediately began working on establishing his descent from Arthur (which made the Tudors the rightful kings of both nations). Henry's son - Henry VIII - unified England and Wales into a single country, and his daughter - Elizabeth I - helped the Welsh translate the Bible into their own language. Many prominent Welshmen worked for the new kings of England (Elizabeth's spymaster Lord Cecil, was Welsh), and the longstanding enmity between the two countries rapidly faded. So King Arthur wasn't important as a person - perhaps he never really was a person at all. But he was important as an idea. One might say the same thing about Johnny Appleseed, Uncle Sam, Hereward the Wake - and perhaps even some real people. Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill were both real people, but their myths may be even more important than they were.

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.
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.
Is Guinevere a good choice for Arthur's queen?

When was King Arthur elected to be king?
When Sir Agravane and Mordred uncover the secret affair of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, King Arthur setences Guinever to burn at the stake. Expecting Lancelot to attempt a rescue, Arthur posts guards at the execution. Sir Gawain refuses, but his brothers, Sir Gaheris and Sir Gareth, and Sir Agravane don't. As a result, Lancelot gathered many knights and did rescue the queen, (Who was returned to Camelot, still Queen), and Gawain's brothers, (Except for Mordred) are killed. Gawain's friendship for Lancelot turns to hatred, and urges Arthur to go to war with Lancelot in France. While he is gone, Mordred takes over Camelot, and the Britons must return to England. Gawain is eventually killed in the attempt, but before he dies, he writes a letter to Lancelot apologizing to him and asking him to return to help Arthur. Lancelot does, but too late. Arthur manages to kill Mordred, and is mortally wounded in the fight. He hands his crown to Constantine the Third, and is taken to the Isle of Avalon to be healed, never to be seen again. Some also say Arthur was actually attacking Rome when Mordred ursurped the throne, but either way, the end is the same.

Is Lancelot a dynamic character?
Lancelot is a major character in the story of King Arthur - so I assume that makes Lancelot a dynamic character. A dynamic character is one who changes emotionally, spiritually or psychologically during the course of the tale. In Arthurian legend, Lancelot goes through several of these changes. At first he is an upstanding and loyal knight under King Arthur, but he ends up an adulterer after he falls in love with Queen Guinevere. This causes several other unfortunate events later on, most notably the civil war that happened when Mordred exploited this knowledge and led to the end of Arthur's kingdom. A character who is capable of such good and such bad is a tantalizingly complex one, and the changes he went through are certainly consistent with those of a dynamic character.
