What was the place where King Arthur was born?
The legendary King Arthur was supposedly born in the castle at Tintagel on the north coast of Cornwall in England. I have visited it and it is a wild and beautiful location. The ruined castle stands on a disconnected pillar of rock which is an unnerving experience to get to from the mainland.
The original Welsh form: Gwenhywfar means roughly: white shadow
king Arthur achieved the joy of becoming a king and having a wonderful wife he also won lots pf amazing battles with his crew named 'The knights of the round table'.
Where was Queen Guinevere born?
Guinevere was the legendary queen consort of King Arthur. There is no date of birth indicated for her. At least not that I know of. Thus, it is an unverified story that has been handed down from generation to generation.
This is disputed.. it was one of the Duke or Tintagel's daughters. Either Morgause or the infamous Morgana le Fay.
Who was the duke that ran away with king Arthur's mother?
The story of a knight or lord of some kind ran off with Arthur's mother is found in a number of texts.
The story is first found in Chrétien de Troye's Perceval, ou li Conte del Graal. But Chrétien gives almost no details, merely stating that Queen Igerne had come to the region after King Uther's death with great wealth, and had there built the Castle of Wonders. But why the castle is under enchantment is not explained, either by Chrétien or by the poet who continues the story in the second Perceval continuation. Nor is any male creator of the castle so much as mentioned.
However, in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, it is explained that Arthur's mother, here called Arnive, had been abducted from King Uther's court by a wizard named Clinschor, Duke de la Terre de Labur. Wagner calls him Klingsor in his opera. Clinshor had been a magician in the service of King Ibert of Sicily, but had an affair with Ibert's wife Iblis. When Ibert discovered the affair, he had Clinschor castrated. Clinschor became a great wizard and created the Castle of Wonders. He afterwards abducted Arthur's mother Arnive, and apparently her daughter at the same time and imprisoned them in the Castle of Wonders.
In Heinrich von dem Türlin's Diu Krône ('The Crown'), the corresponding character is the wizard Gansguoter. Arthur's mother Igern has given up her entire inheritance for love of Gansguoter who then built the castle of Salie for her. Gansguoter appears again as Igern's lover and the affair is accepted by Arthur and Gawain. Gansguoter aids Gawain in his search for the Grail.
The adventures undergone by Gawain in the Castle of Wonders appear in slightly different form in the Prose Lancelot as the adventures undergone by Gawain, and then Bors, at the Grail castle. In the Welsh Peredur also the Grail Castle is called the Castle of Wonders.
A combination of these traditions appears in the Livre d'Artus:
But as soon as King Pellinor knew that all his thirteen sons were dead, he no longer wished to be in his hunting lodge, but he went and dwelt in the Castle of Wonders with King Arthur's mother whom Merlin had brought there. But this was not known by any folk save those who that had the Holy Grail in their keeping.
Here Merlin appears to take the place of Clinschor and Gansguoter.
Why was the round table round?
The idea was that the men who sat at the table, including Arthur, were equals, and that no voice should be heard above the others. At the time, seating arrangements usually denoted social status.
How many Knights were a part of the round table?
Their were 13 Knights of the round table originally but because Arthurian Legend is as said a Legend and can not be proven outright and due to the different variants of the legend most are inclined to believe that their were 13 Knights originally but may have been around 25.
Morgan le Fay, alternatively known as Morgane, Morgaine, Morgana and other variants, is a powerful sorceress in the Legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Although there are records to prove King Arthur's exsistance, many scholars believe that he was less of a deal than the tales give appearance to.

There is great controversy involving who Queen Guinevere was and when she died. The most common accepted story is that Queen Guinevere died shortly after King Arthur. Lancelot, when he heard of King Arthur's passing, traveled to see Guinevere and learned that she had passed away as well. After burying her next to King Arthur, Lancelot killed himself.
