The text in this illustration by Arthur Rackham reads: Sir Mordred went and laid a mighty siege about the Tower of London and shot great guns. Queen Guinevere tricked Mordred, Arthur's nephew, into letting her go to London and she locks himself with her people in the Tower of London. Mordred tries to persuade her to come out. She refuses, even under siege, and finally Mordred leaves to oppose the returning Arthur.
