- Arthurian Legends: Guinevere & Lancelot
There is no denying that Arthurian legends contain numerous tales of love and adultery. One of the most famous surrounds the love triangle between Guinevere, Lancelot and Arthur. Humans just love drama, don't we? The tale has been told countless times, but (spoiler alert) it usually boils down to Guinevere and Lancelot in a steamy romantic tryst, hiding their undying love from the kind but rather boring King Arthur, which leads to the downfall of Camelot. But there is so much more to this story and the people within them.
