Why does Bedivere not want to carry out Arthur's orders?
In 'The Legend of King Arthur,' Bedivere is the most trusted of Arthur's knights, and it is to him he gives his sword, Excalibur, as he lays dying. He asks Bedivere to give the sword to the Lady of the Lake. However, Bedivere, who thinks Arthur must be delirious over loss of blood not to want to preserve so valuable a sword, and doesn't carry out the order.
Remember that King Arthur is a legend (fictional, although his character and depiction may be based on a factual person); in legend Arthur died in the battle of Camlam. Mordred either fatally wounded him or killed him and he was buried at Avalon,
- Arthur's historical existence is the 10th-century Annales Cambriae, which also link Arthur with the Battle of Mount Badon. The Annales date this battle to 516--518, and also mention the Battle of Camlann, in which Arthur andMedraut (Mordred) were both killed, dated to 537--539.
During the Battle of Camlann (est. 537), King Arthur impaled his half-brother Mordred with a lance. Mordred though used what little remained of his strength to pull King Arthur to him, and delivered a fatal blow with his sword. He supposedly died later from those wounds.
Though debate has gone on for centuries, historians have been unable to confirm that King Arthur really existed. This is one of those stories that will more than likely never be solved.
What gave King Arthur an advantage during battle?
Besides that Excalibur was the top of the line sword for his day and given him by the Lady of the lake herself, it's scabbard was way more valuable. As long as Arthur wore Excalibur's scabbard while he fought, he lost no blood from his wounds.
Where did Arthur get the round table from?
The one story that I have read described Merlin cutting the table from a very large tree near his home which he then took to Camelot.
When did Queen Guinevere rule?
Never. Because: a) She was a Queen Consort, not a Queen Regnant. b) She was entirely fictional anyway.
She had an affair with Lancelot which led to the fall of Camelot. Everyone was sad to see but they took it very hard as the spirit of camelot fell.
Why was Arthur considered such a great king?
There are various attributes that made Arthur to be considered as a great king. Some of his traits include honesty, modesty, kind-heartedness and so much more.
Medieval romances of Arthur usually relate adventures of Gawain or of another of Arthur's knights who is made to be almost equal or slightly superior to Gawain.
Lancelot seems to have begun as one of these knights and so appears in Chrétien de Troyes' Lancelot. But in later prose romances Lancelot firmly appears as the superior of Gawain and is loved by Arthur almost as much as Arthur loves his nephew Gawain.
Lancelot is probably entirely fictional, an invention of medieval authors.
