The Legend of Queen Guinevere

Guinevere was the most beautiful woman in the world. The only knight to succumb to her charms was Lancelot. This drastic union caused the breaking of Arthur's heart and the end of Camelot as it was known. It is said that once Camelot ended she returned to her previous goddess identity. However, there are many movies and books that turn her into a nun of Glastonburry.

Origins: Gwynhwfar was a cloud-goddess who often, for mischief, took mortal form and entered the world of humans to cause havoc. Soon after Arthur became king of Camelot, she entered the womb of a Roman princess whose husband ruled in Britain, and was born, as a beautiful mortal.

Husband: Arthur of Camelot

Lover: Lancelot

Other Names: Guinever, Gwynchwfar
