Guinevere

Well I read the book. Wow let me tell you I don't think I have ever learned so much while still being sooo very confused.

She and Aurther were real a real King and Queen. Now there is where you start to get confused. They were real! Now where did they live. There is the English place but no one has really proven this. But then there are real places named after this fabled couple up north from present day England. In, I want to say, Scottland.

Guinevere actually has a grave. With beautiful pink gravestones marking the place and telling of her life. And showing joy for her life.

She wasn't really this bad women who was adulterous. She had more meaning to King Aurther's throne than just a pretty face. Although from every account she was the most beautiful women around. She was Aurthers historian. She could write. She had several trials that she went thru. (Of course every person does.)But not only was she the historian but she was also a preistess. One who took care of the soldiers. And helped with everyone's faith. And Lancelot was not her lover but a boy whom she helped raise. And then he was her fighter. For she needed someone whom she trusted completly that would fight for her. And, for some reason, it couldn't be Aurther.

I don't know why?

This is about the summary of what I got from the book... Maybe someone else who has read this book or has studied this woman will know more. And help me to learn more. Because I think this will always be a question in the back of my mind. Who were these people. What did they do? How did they live? Why did they do what they did? And How could they have changed what was said about them?

I think you should follow me into antropology. Your questions at the end are ones that haunt all anthropologists.
