Arthur Pendragon, son of
Uther and Igraine,
he became King of England after
The Lady of the Lake, "Her arm sheathed in a shimmering Samite held
aloft Excalibur. Whereupon he became King of the Britons" After many
great adventures, Arthur married
Guenevere, who in time would betray him, with her love for
Lancelot,the King's
Champion. In the end Arthur slays, and is slain by his own son
Mordred, where he was
then carried off to Avalon, to rest until he is needed again.
King Arthur's Coat of Arms is; Azure, three crowns Or.
Due to a misreading it was later changed to thirteen crowns.
Guenevere of Cameliard, daughter of a Leodegrance, she
first came to King
Arthur's attention, when the then boy king was lifting a siege at her
father's castle. Arthur intended to marry her, despite the warnings of
Merlin, that she
would in time betray him, with her love for
Lancelot, the King's Champion. Before Arthur's passing Guenevere became
Abbess of Almesbury to atone for her sins, where she died, and was taken to
Glastonbury, by Lancelot for burial.
Queen Gueneveres' Coat of Arms is that of her father's Leodegrance;
Sable, a lion passant, Or.
