Sir Lancelot saw Queen Guinevere on her bier, but he wept not greatly, but tale is part of Arthurian legend, which refers to the vast body of medieval story that focuses on King Arthur of Britain. The first references to him, as early as c. 600, indicate that he was historically a British leader in the Anglo-Saxon invasion, Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1137 names him the head of a magnificent court and master of Europe. This illustration by American artist N. C. Wyeth dates to 1922.
