This narrative introduces Lancelot and the adulterous relationship with Queen Guinevere that will eventually undo Arthur's kingdom. The story itself, however, is simply a knightly adventure of romance, enchantment, and impractical bridge design.</p><p>http://www.matterofbritianpodcast.com</p><p>http://www.patreon/com/thematterofbritainpodcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
