How does Guinevere change King Arthur's life?
this really depends on the time you are asking about, but the modern tale sais the following: when King Arthur marries Guinevere he gets the round table as marriagepresent, which will be the center of his kingdom, and a place where his best and most loyal knights get together. this keeps his kingdom intact. guinevere also is the reason for the end of the kingdom. she begins an affair with Lancelot, the champion of Arthur, and when he finds out he tries to kill guinevere. lancelot saves her, but because he has killed 2 brothers of gawain, another loyal knight of arthur, he goes to war with him. he left guinevere behind with his son (who is also the son of his sister). mordred, the son, tries to marry her, so he can become king. this eventually results in the final battle of Camlann, where arthur beats the opposing army, but gets severely injured, and he gets taken away on a boat with witches. Guinevere made sure he kept his kingdom, but also contrebuted to the decline of it.
What happens after the wounded Arthur is carried to the waters edge?

Did Guinevere kill King Arthur?
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.
King Arthur was a very kind and generous soul who had a great passion for his wife but also had a great nous to understand that she was not necessarily overly passionate towards him, however he respected this without making a scene. He had great love an appreciation for the people and the land which they lived. He continually strived to provide a happy, loving and peaceful empire despite the constant petty battles others would put up to stop this whether through jealousy of him or a fear or having doubts over his ability to lead. He was kind, loyal, friendly and trusted his family, knights and staff. A real man that made decisions with thought and tact always looking at the bigger picture. His devine nature was and still is an inspiration to many.
What does Sir Gawain vow after seeing the Holy Grail at the Pentecost feast?
See William Caxton's Book 13, Chapter 7: Now, said Sir Gawaine, we have been served this day
of what meats and drinks we thought on; but one thing
beguiled us, we might not see the Holy Grail, it was so
preciously covered. Wherefore I will make here avow,
that to-morn, without longer abiding, I shall labour in the
quest of the Sangreal, that I shall hold me out a twelvemonth
and a day, or more if need be, and never shall I
return again unto the court till I have seen it more openly
than it hath been seen here; and if I may not speed I
shall return again as he that may not be against the will of
our Lord Jesu Christ. [Or see Book 6, Chapter 1 in the Oxford Edition (based on Vinaver's editing of the Winchester manuscript).]
Why are stories about King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table fables?
They are classified as fables because we don't have any documented history that can prove his existence, and all of the legends came well after that historical period, and are almost certainly fictional.
Mordred was raised in the Orkney islands of far northern Scotland, and when he learned that he was the son - the ONLY son - of King Arthur, he came to Camelot to claim his inheritance and title as prince.
Mordred eventually rebelled against King Arthur, and they killed each other at the Battle of Camlan. Some legends say that Arthur and Mordred were about to reconcile and mend their differences. The armies on both sides of the field were alert for any treachery, and one of the knights was bitten by a snake. The knight drew his sword to kill the snake, but the armies on both sides saw the raised sword as a betrayal, and the battle was joined.
