SAT Writing Passage Title: searching for Guinevere

Stories of kings and queens have captivated readers for centuries, and arguably, the tales of King Arthur and Guinevere are among the most enchanting. Arthur ruled the kingdom of Camelot, and Guinevere was his queen. But were they real people or fictional characters? The debate has continued for centuries. Though many scholars have found evidence that the legendary Arthur was, at the very least, based on a real person who lived in Britain roughly between 450  1  500 CE. They continue. to search for the historical identity of Guinevere. Guinevere first appeared as King Arthur’s queen in one of the most widely studied works of Arthurian literature,  2  The History of the Kings of Britain. This book was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth around 1135 CE. Geoffrey’s historical treatment of the legend is often  3  sited as evidence that the queen of Camelot existed, as the book chronicles the lives of a number of historical rulers. *God help those who help themselves. We help those who trust us. Contact Wechat:satxbs123, help is waiting.

Guinevere is identified by Geoffrey as a noblewoman of Roman descent who met King Arthur in the court of Duke Cador of Cornwall, where she lived as a ward.  4   In Malory’s portrayal, Guinevere had no real power as a monarch but served as a kind of spiritual leader, providing guidance and moral support to the knights in their roles as defenders of the kingdom. Le Morte d’Arthur was also one of the first works to reference Guinevere’s romance with the knight, Sir Lancelot.

As many Arthurian scholars know, the distinction between history and literature was blurred in the Middle Ages. Consequently, the true identity of Guinevere may never be known with certainty. Yet regardless of whether Guinevere was real or fictional, her story   5  had endured centuries – and through each retelling, she continues to live on in the imaginations of people around the world.
