For centuries, Guinevere has been portrayed as a cautionary tale—the woman whose love affair with Lancelot shattered Camelot. But was she truly the villain of the story, or was she a victim of the patriarchal narratives that have shaped her legend? In this episode, we reclaim Guinevere’s agency, exploring her role as a powerful queen, a woman caught between duty and desire.
Join us in this first part of our exploration of Queen Guinevere as we examine the medieval sources and hear some stories of Guinevere and her Lancelot.
